PURE COD LIVER OIL. 

Manufactured on the Sea-Shore by us from fresh and selected Livers. 


This Oil is made from fresh se¬ 
lected livers on the seacoast, and 
from the great care and skill attend¬ 
ing its manufacture, is perfectly pure 
and sweet, and can be retained by 
the stomach when all other kinds 
have failed. 

It is confidently recommended 
to the medical profession as the 
sweetest and purest in market; 



Prof. Parker, of New York, says : 
“ I have tried almost every other 
manufacturer’s Oil, and give yours 
the decided preference.” 


Prof. Hayes, State Assayer of 
Massachusetts, after a full analysis 
of it, says: “ It is the best for for¬ 

eign or domestic use.” 


It Is made with greater care, is sweeter, and has less of the rancid, unpleasant fish taste and odor than any other made—foreign 
or domestic.

Ferro-Phospliorated Elixir of Calisaya Bark (Calisaya Bark and Pyrophosphate of Iron)—A pleasant straw-colored cordial 
(never before attained), made directly from the best Calisaya Bark (ISF” not from its alkaloids or their sal s), combining the three most 
valuable tonics, Iron, Phosphorus and Calisaya, without injury to their active tonic properties, in an agreeable elixir, pleasant to the taste 
and acceptable to the most delicate stomach. Each teaspoonfiil contains one grain of Pyrophosphate of Iron, and each pint the viitues of 
one ounce of Royal Calisaya Bark.

We call attention to this preparation, containing the entire nutritious properties of the muscular fibre, blood, bone and brain of a 
healthy bullock, dissolved by aid of heat and pepsin, and preserved by spirit. It is not a mere stimulant, like the now fashionable extracts 
of beef, but contains blood-making, force-generating, and life-sustaining properties, calculated to support the system under the exhaust¬ 
ing and wasting process of fevers and other acute diseases, and to rebuild and recruit the tissues and forces. It is friendly and helpful to 
the most delicate stomach, and where there is a fair remnant to build on, will reconstruct the most shattered and enfeebled constitution

A COMPOUND OF COCOANUT OIL, ETC. 


FOR PROMOTING THE GROWTH AND PRESERVING THE BEAUTY OF THE 


HUMAN HAIR. 


No other Compound possesses the Peculiar Properties which so Exactly Suit 
the Various Conditions of the Human Hair. 


It softens the hair when harsh and dry. It soothes the irritated scalp. It affords the richest lustre. It remains longest 
in effect. It prevents the hair from falling off. It promotes its healthy, vigorous growth. It 
is not greasy nor sticky. It leaves no disagreeable odor. 


BURNETT’S COLOGNE. 

^Unrivalled in Richness anil P>elicacy of Perfume. In Quarter anil Half Pints, Pints anil Quarts. 
Highest Awards at the Centennial exposition, at Louisville, St. Louis anil Cincinnati. 

Is filled in elegant bottles of superior finish and beauty, in themselves an ornament. It is offered at a small advance 
upon the prime cost, and at a price within the reach of every one. Without effort on our part, it has, in a brief time, 
attained a large and constantly increasing sale, confirming the opinion of the best judges that it is superior to any, 
foreign or domestic. 


BURNETT’S EXTRACTS 

Are entirely free from the poisonous oils and acids which enter into the composition of many of the factitious fruit 
flavors now in the market. They are highly concentrated, have all the freshness and delicacy of the fruits from which 
they are prepared, and are less expensive. 


-Me CAUTION TO HOUSEKEEPERS. JM- 

Owing to the increased and constantly increasing cost of Vanilla beans used in the manufacture of Extract Vanilla, 
spurious compounds are being thrown upon the market, purporting to be pure Vanilla, but prepared principally from 
Tonqua beans. This nauseating substitute costs the manufacturer less than one-twentieth as much as the genuine 
Vanilla bean. It can readily be detected by its odor. It is used principally by tobacconists for perfuming snuff and 
cigars, and was never intended to be used as a flavoring for the various compounds prepared for the human stomach.

Important to Physicians. 


''J^he fact that Sulphate of Quinine is only soluble in over 700 parts of water is not generally known, or if 
known, is not usually considered, except in prescriptions, when this difficulty is overcome by the addition 
of Acid; and the further fact that Bi - Sulphate of Quinine is soluble in only 10 pavts of 
watev is as little appreciated. 

I _ 

McK esson & R obbins 

Have paid much attention to the subject of putting Quinine into Pills, in a condition approaching that of a 
solution, and have at last succeeded in their Bi-Sulphate of Quinine Pills 9 and offer the same to the 
profession, confident that they will stand any test for solubility and prompt action. Physicians will please 
always specify McK. & B. Bi-Slllph . Quinine Bills , and they will not be disappointed in results. 

NOTE. —With no reference to respectable druggists, we would say that cases have come to our knowledge and have been 
noted, where other pills have been substituted on prescriptions for ours. 


^{c POWDERED^ 

Purified Chinoidine, 

CONTAINING ALL THE 

Non-Crystallizable Alkaloids of Cinchona Bark. 


Similar preparations have been lately offered in market at High Prices under different fancy appella¬ 
tions, and claims made for the same as of equal efficiency with Quinine. 

As a great demand exists for a cheap anti - malarial remedy, we introduce this preparation at low figures ; 
and, in order that the profession may judge practically of its merits, will forward a sample to any physician’s 
address, or mail one ounce upon receipt of Fifty Cents.

Parties ordering from us for the first time, to ensure prompt shipment, should send 
references, give a detailed statement of their financial condition, or send draft to cover the 
order, as it sometimes requires several days to get the necessary information regarding new 
parties, through other sources. 


Our terms are cash in thirty to sixty days — according to character of the order, 
exchange to be paid by buyer. 

Many orders for small packages can be sent by mail, but liquids are prohibited by the 
postal laws. Packages are carefully examined at the Chicago postoffice for violations of 
the postal regulations, and where the goods have been mailed contrary to them, letter 
postage is required and enforced. See postal regulations in detail on page 292. 

All goods sent by mail, or otherwise, are at the risk of the buyer, our responsibility 
justly ceasing after delivering, in proper condition, to the designated carrier. 

In sending remittances with orders, it is a convenience to us and sometimes ensures 
more prompt work on the order, to have the remittance notice and the order, on separate 
sheets of paper.

HABITS OF A GOOD BUSINESS MAN. 

We copy the following from the American Manufacturer 
and Exporter , for December, 1879, as containing some val¬ 
uable hints to business men : 

A sacred regard to the principles of justice forms the

He is strict in keeping his engagements. 

Does nothing carelessly or in a hurry. Employs nobody 
to do what he can easily do himself. 

Keeps everything in its proper place. 

Leaves nothing undone that ought to be done, and which 
circumstances permit him to do. 

Is prompt and decisive with his customers, and does not 
overtrade his capital. 

He is clear and explicit in all his bargains. 

Prefers short credits to long ones, and cash to credit at 
all limes, either in buying or selling, and small profits in

credit cases, with little risk, to the chance of better gain, 
with more hazard. 

Leaves nothing of consequence to memory that he can 
and ought to commit to writing. 

Keeps copies of all his important letters which he sends 
away, and has every letter, invoice, etc., belonging to his 
business, clasped and put away. 

Is always at the head of his business, well knowing that 
if he leaves it, it will leave him. 

Holds as a maxim, that he whose credit is suspected is 
not one to be trusted. 

Is constantly examining his books and sees through all 
his affairs, as far as care and attention will enable him. 

He is economical in his expenditures, always living 
within his means. 

Keeps a memorandum in his pocket, in which he notes 
every particular relative to appointments and petty cash 
matters.

TTr King’s TvJew JAiscovery 

FOR 

CONSUMPTION, COUGHS, AND COLDS, 

AND 

ALL AFFECTIONS OF THE THROAT, CHEST AND LUNGS. 

As an evidence of the appreciation in which this wonderful remedy is held, it may be mentioned that last year’s 
trade was more than double the one preceding it. Dr. King’s New Discovery for Consumption has risen in the 
public favor faster, probably, than any remedy that was ever placed on the market. This, together with the fact that 
the sales are daily increasing, is pretty conclusive evidence that it has rare and wonderful curative properties. 

What the Druggists and Physicians say of Dr. King’s New Discovery. 

H. C. SHELDON & CO., Troy, N. Y.“ The best goods in our store.” 

J. GEO. KING, Kingston, Ont ."It takes the lead and helps the afflicted.” 

E. M. KELLUM & CO., Vincennes, Ind . . “The best Lung medicine known.” 

T. F, WHEELER, Penn Yan, N. Y .“ My customers demand it.” 

Drs. MATCHETTE & FRANCE, Bourbon, Ind ...“ We prescribe it in our practice.” 

A. G. LUKEN & CO., Richmond, Ind ...“ It invariably does as recommended.” 

Dr. M. j. BOLAN, Milford, Ind ...“I use it in my practice.” 

A. HAMILTON & CO, Hamilton, Ont .“ Gives perfect satisfaction.” 

GRAY & HOFFLIN, Minneapolis, Minn ..“Sells rapidly and pleases all.” 

DRUGGISTS will find it more to their advantage to handle Dr. King’s New Discovery than any other remedy now 
in the market. The extensive advertising, the Ten Cent and Free Trial Bottle System, liberal profits and rapid sale, 
make it the Remedy Of the Day, and one that is a pleasure for all druggists to handle.

Dear Sir : Dr. Walter Kidder has exhibited to me d Magneto-Electric Machine manufactured by you. For NEAT¬ 
NESS, COMPACTNESS, and FACILITY and ENERGY OF OPERATION, it is far superior to any instrument of 
the kind which I have seen. For medical application, it possesses very decided advantages.

Not being able to find any recognized authority for 
abbreviations of metric terms, beyond the cubic Centimeter 
and Gram, we take the liberty of suggesting the above, 
though the evident tendency is to express all ordinary 
amounts only in grams. 


In writing prescriptions in Apothecaries weights and 
measures the numbers should follow the symbol, and in 
Metric weights and measures it should precede, unless 
quantities are designated in grams and fractions by the 
decimal line or point. Examples :

MEDAL AND DIPLOMA AWARDED BY CENTENNIAL COMMISSION. 


Blairs Prepared Wheat Food. 


A NUTRITIOUS DIET FOR INFANTS AND INVALIDS. 


“Wheat contains the elements more nearly corresponding with the requirements of the human 
system than any other grain, and is, therefore, the very best food.” 


This article is a true extract of Selected Wheat, prepared by an approved process, thereby retaining all the nutritive constituents and 
rejecting those which are irritating or otherwise objectionable to a delicate system. It contains more of the Nitrates and Phosphates 
(muscle and bone forming elements) than most Farinaceous foods, and a proper proportion of the Carbonates (flesh and fat producing 
elements). It is thoroughly cooked, which produces both physical and chemical changes, the tendency of which is to facilitate mastication 
and the subsequent action of the fluids of the stomach, thus rendering it more easily digested. This article, containing all the nourishing 
and strengthening properties of choice wheat in a form so acceptable, is the 

Very Best Food for Infants. 


We recommend our Wheat Food in the various forms of disease caused by imperfect or enfeebled digestion, and it has been found 
especially beneficial in Intestinal diseases. (Dysentery, Cholera Infantum, etc.) This Wheat Food is acceptable to the most delicate and 
can be prepared for use in a short time, which is very important in supplying the ever changing taste of the invalid. 

This is a most salable article, and gives a large profit to retailers. Put up in large tins, and keeps in any climate. We will guarantee it 
equal in nutriment to any article of the kind in the market, even at double its price. Made only by 

HENRY C. BLAIR’S SONS, Apothecaries, 

EICHTH AND WALNUT STREETS, PHILADELPHIA.

“ DOUBTLESS THE BEST COUGH MEDICINE

Messrs Cutler Bros. & Co.: 

Please send us TEN gross small, and FIVE gross large 
“Vegetable Pulmonary Balsam.” This is doubtless 
the best Cough Medicine in the World. (Signed.)

IMPORTANT CHANGE. 


DB. SHALLENBERGER’S 

pever and ^gue ^ntidote. 

ONE DOLLAR PER BOTTLE. 


The high retail price of this medicine, which is the only 
possible objection ever named against it, will stand no 
longer in the way of largely increased sales. 

We present to the public our new size, twenty-five Pills 
for $1.00, and the Pills being a trifle larger, are equal in 
quantity to twenty-seven Pills of the old size. 

We believe this amount of the medicine will be found 
sufficient to cure any ordinary case of Ague, and being so 
nearly equal to the old, will very soon take the place of it 
in the market. 

We shall still make and sell the old size—30 Pills for 
$1.50, precisely as it has been for twenty years, in order to 
accommodate some persons who look with suspicion upon 
the slightest change. 

The new size has a large margin for profit, and is abund¬ 
antly supplied with advertising matter.

E make a specialty of introducing New Remedies to the profession. We have agents con¬ 
tinually working for us in this and other lands, whose business it is to report to us any new 
^ articles which are 

Worthy of Examination. 


We are constantly publishing circulars giving the botanical history and therapeutical application of 
these New Remedies, with reports from physicians who have actually used them in their practice. 
These remedies are placed in the market 

Unprotected by any Patent, 

Copyright or Trade Mark, our sole object being to secure for ourselves the reputation of being the 
most enterprising house in the United States in this special line of research.

Caution. —It frequently happens that immediately after a new remedy 
has been placed on the market by us, a spurious article, bearing the same 
name, but very different from the genuine drug, appears from some other 
source. We need only call attention to the recent compound of strychnia 
sold extensively as “Fluid Extract of Cascara Sagrada,” until the fraud 
was exposed by us, to impress upon druggists the importance of securing 
these New Remedies from ourselves, or from some other reputable source 
of supply.

These little articles will be found of great value and convenience in the hands of the physician who studies to remove 
the objectionable properties of the medicines which he deems it necessary to employ. 

The demand of the age is for palatable medicines. Patients are no longer willing to swallow large doses of disagree¬ 
able remedies. Many drugs, among which we may note roots, gums, emetics, capsicum, etc., which—either from the 
more immediate effect to be produced, or from some special action to be desired—the physician proposes to administer 
in the crude or poivdered state, in preference to any form of preparation, are practically debarred from use in certain 
cases on account of their physical properties (appearance, color, taste), and the difficulty experienced in swallowing them. 
It is frequently advisable to conceal from the patient the nature or identity of the drug, because of some idiosyncrasy, or 
of his imagination with regard to its peculiar effects on his system. The old methods of administrating this class of 
agents are altogether unsatisfactory. A liquid vehicle has the disadvantage of greatly increasing the bulk of the remedy, 
while wholly failing to cover its taste. To be able easily to disguise these features of a remedy at the bedside of a patient, 
at a time and place when he cannot employ the assistance of a pharmacist, is a great desideratum to the practitioner. Our 
Capsules will fully supply this want; a few trials will demonstrate all their advantages, among which we may enumerate 
the following: 

Convenience. —A box (ioo capsules) can be carried in the pocket without inconvenience, ready for use as desired. 
They may be filled with the medicine in a moment, thoroughly disguising its appearance, odor and taste, and are easily 
swallowed, thus gaining, if we may use the phrase, a foothold in the stomach for the drug, which would have been 
quickly rejected by the patient in its undisguised state. 

Solubility. —We have endeavored to so prepare our gelatine, that it will quickly dissolve under the combined 
action of warmth and moisture of the stomach, requiring but little digestive action, and as a result our capsules can 
BE EMPLOYED IN DYSPEPSIA AND OTHER FORMS OF IRRITABLE OR TORPID STOMACH, when this property is essential. 

Therapeutical Effect. —The gelatine having been dissolved, the remedy is brought in contact with the surface 
of the stomach under the most favorable circumstances, and, if the case will permit, will soon be assimilated, and 
the desired results achieved. 

Emetics are exhibited in capsules to great advantage, and quick returns may be confidently expected. In this respect 
capsules are in contrast to pills, which from their form and constituents gradually dissolve in the stomach, producing the 
effects desired from narcotics, tonics, etc., while they are not dissolved rapidly enough for the use to which powerful 
emetics are devoted. 



Administration. —Capsules can, of course, be appled to the administration of any class of medicines, either simple 
or in combination ; yet they are especially designed for facilitating the act of swallow¬ 
ing such articles as powdered roots and gums (which, from their insoluble or glutinous 
nature, are liable to linger in the mouth too long), or for disguising the taste of 
QUININE, MORPHINE, CAPSICUM, OILS, FLUID and SOLID EXTRACTS, etc. 


Our capsules are manufactured by means of improved apparatus, producing the 
most accurate and unvarying results. The gelatine employed is of finest quality, which, 
in our hands, undergoes a certain process, increasing its transparency and elasticity. 
Through these improvements in apparatus and material, we are enabled to produce 
capsules which are uniformly accurate, transparent, elastic and permanent, in which 
properties they are excelled by none sold in the United States or Europe.

Gi RONDiN Disinfectant. 

INODOROUS AND COLORLESS. 


For Disinfection in Contagious Diseases, Sick-rooms, etc.; for Sewer Gases, etc.; or any other Source of Infection ; for 
Deodorization and A T eutralization of Offensive Odors; for Surgical Cases and the Dressing of Offensive 
Wounds ; for Stables, Kennels , Henneries, etc., etc., THE GIRONDIN IS EQUALLY EFEL- 
CA CIO US, and stands to-day unique in its action and superior to any other Disinfectant 
now in use, and having the advantage of being ODORLESS AND COLOR¬ 
LESS, is adapted to any purpose for which Disinfectants are used. 


The Girondin has proved to he the most efficient and reliable of all Disinfectants now in the market. It has had six years of the

THE GENUINE 


Dr. C. McLane's Liver Pills 


are not recommended as a remedy “ for all the ills that flesh is heir to,” but in affections of 
the Liver, and in all Bilious Complaints, Dyspepsia, and Sick Headache, 
or diseases of that character, they stand without a rival. 



No better cathartic can be used preparatory to, or after taking quinine. 

As a simple purgative they are unequaled.

PILLS. Each wrapper bears the signatures of C. McLANE and FLEMING BROS. 

Insist upon having the genuine Dr. C. McLANE’S LIVER PILLS, prepared by 

FLEMING EROS., Pittsburgh, Pa.

SPECIFIC GRAVITY. 

Tables of specific gravity give the relative weights of 
equal bulks of different bodies, the standard being water : 
One cubic inch of water weighs 253 1-6 grains. To ascer¬ 
tain the weight of a cubic inch of any substance multiply 
253 1-6 grains by the specific gravity, and it will give the 
result in grains. 

A cubic foot of water weighs nearly one thousand ounces, 
or 62 4-10 lbs.; therefore to find the weight of any sub¬ 
stance, whose specific gravity is known, we multiply by that 
specific gravity as follows : 

Alcohol with specific gravity of .835 multiplied by 
1000=835 ounces or 52 1-10 lbs. per cubic foot. 

Copper, with sp. gr. of 4, would be 4000 ozs., or to be 
exact, 249 6-10 lbs. to the cubic foot. 

Limestone, with a sp. gr. of 2.7, would be 2700 ozs.» 
or to be exact, 168 48-100 lbs. to the cubic foot. 



A remedy of great merit for all Kidney and Liver Diseases, Constipation, Piles, etc., etc. Put up in novel and attractive boxes, and 

energetically advertised, it is sure to have a large sale. 

Per Dozen, _ $8.00.

than carrots or annatto, and wherever introduced quickly takes the place of any other 
color. A single trial always proves its superiority. - •

All Oxides, Hydrates, Carbonates. 

Tannates, Phosphates, Arsenites and Arsenates. 

The last three are soluble in dilute acids. 

Never prescribe together chemicals that have directly 
opposite chemical properties (as an acid with an alkali), as 
you will not get the effect of either. Do not prescribe two 
compounds of two metals, which by the interchange of the 
two metals produce either an insoluble compound or a 
volatile substance. Do not prescribe an acid with a

AN AGREEABLE 


EFFERVESCING APERIENT 


We respectfully call the attention of the trade to the above preparation, 
which has a large and increasing sale; a7id by our system of advertising, we 
intend to keep it before the Medical Profession and the public, from whom it 
has received the highest encomium for the relief and cure of Headache, Heart¬ 
burn, Dyspepsia, Constipation, and all complaints arising from a disordered 
Stomach. 

Its superiority over Saline Cathartics, Granular Salts, Mineral Waters, etc., 
are verified in the following facts: 

Firstly. That it will not spoil or deteriorate by age or climate. 

Secondly. That it is put up in large bottles (6 oz.), neatly wrapped, and sells at a lower price than any other Mag¬ 
nesia or Aperient; and it also gives you a large margin of profit. 

Thirdly. For Children, Invalids or the Sick Room, it is invaluable, as its acidity and sweet taste makes it cooling 
and refreshing. 

Fourthly. You can recommend it to your patrons with all confidence in its effects when taken according to directions.

RULES FOR ASCERTAINING THE RELATIVE VALUE 
OF DEGREES IN THE DIFFERENT THERMOMET- 
RICAL SCALES. 

To change Centigrade degrees to those of Fahrenheit, 
multiply by 9 and divide by 5, and add 32 to the quotient. 

Example: ioo° C x 9 = 900-?-5 = 180 + 32 = 212° Fah. 

To change Fahrenheit degrees to Centigrade, subtract 
32 from the number, multiply the remainder by 5 and 
divide by 9. 

Example: 212° Fahr.—32 = 180 x 5=900-7-9= ioo° C. 

To change Reaumer degrees to Fahrenheit, multiply by 
9, divide by 4 and add 32. 

Example: 8o° R x 9=720-^4= iSo-}-32 = 2i2 0 Fah. 

To change Fahrenheit degrees to Reaumer, subtract 32, 
multiply remainder by 4 and divide by 9. 

Example: 212 0 F—32 = 180x4=720-7-9=80° R.

The Table is read thus :—20 grains of Citric Acid will saturate 29 grains of Bicarbonate of Potassium ; 20 grains 
of Bicarbonate of Sodium will saturate, or be saturated by, 18 grains of Tartaric Acid ; 11 grains of Tartaric Acid = 8 
grains of Carbonate of Ammonium ; 20 grains of Bicaibonate of Sodium are equivalent to, or will do as much work as, 
34 grains of Carbonate of Sodium ; 14 grains of Citric Acid are as stiong as 15 of Tartaric Acid. It is occasionally 
convenient to double the numbers, halve them, or take some other proportion ; also to employ them in weights other 
than grains. 

Lemon Juice contains, on an average, 32 grains of Citric Acid in 1 fluid ounce, or 4 grains per fluid drachm.

GOLD ALLOYS. 

Standard Gold for coin in Great Britain: Pure gold 
22, pure copper 2. This alloy is harder and more fusible 
but less ductile than pure gold. It is said to be “ 22 carats 
fine.” 

Standard Gold for coin in United States and France : 
Gold 9, copper 1. 


Jewelers’ Gold varies from 22 down to 9 parts gold, with 
sufficient silver, or copper and silver, to make up 24 parts. 
The number of parts of pure gold in 24 parts of an alloy 
denotes its fineness ; thus gold 18 carats fine is an alloy 
containing 18 parts pure gold and 6 parts silver or copper. 


SILVER ALLOYS. 

Standard Silver for coin and plate in Great Britain : 
Pure Silver 222 ; pure Copper 18. (Sp. gr. 10.2 ) 

French standard Silver for medals and plates : Silver 
95 ; Copper 5. 

American and French standard Silver for coin : Silver

vUVOfl© i : t 





LOZENGES are of use in pharyngeal troubles that yield to ordinary medication. By being slowly 

dissolved, the medicament they contain is brought 
into contact with the diseased mucous membranes, and 
hence a beneficial influence, local as well as general, 
is exerted. In this respect they are of inestimable 
value to public speakers, teachers, singers, etc., as they 
are handy to carry about the person. In certain diseases of children, 
in worms, dyspepsia, and in cases where it is desirable to carry the 
remedy about the person (as with travelers), too, the Lozenge is a 
useful form for a medicament. 

Among the fifty varieties named in our Price List will be 
found many admirable and useful formulae.

The inhalation of atomized fluids is acknowledged to be 
a rational and successful method of treating various affec¬ 
tions of the nose, throat, air passages and lungs. By its 
means the indicated remedy is applied directly to the 
diseased tissues, and is, in these cases, what washes and 
lotions are to the exposed surfaces when diseased or 
mechanically injured. 

Inhalations may in this manner supplement constitu¬ 
tional treatment by the ordinary means, and it will be 
found a valuable auxiliary.

LIQ. POTASSA AS A SOLVENT FOR GUM RESINS. 

(Morris.) 

Solutions of Gum Resin in Liq. Potassa recommend 
themselves for their elegance and economy, while they are 
generally very effective. For instance, the dilution of 
Ammoniacum and Liq. Potassa with water is perfectly 
clear, whereas a tincture produces an opaque mixture. 
The alkaline solutions of Aloes, Catechu and Kino are 
very cheap and elegant coloring mixtures, a few drops 
giving a deep tint to half a pint of water. 

The quantity of Liq. Potassa best adapted to each Gum 
Resin will be found to be as follows: 


Aloes_

ADULTERATIONS. 

Acacia. —Powdered, generally adulterated with flour, 
starch or cheap arrow root, occasionally with mineral or 
earthy substances. For the first, test a thin mucilage of 
the suspected acacia with tincture of iodine, and for the 
mineral or earthy admixture let the mucilage be made thin, 
and then, if it is not clear, allow it to stand undisturbed 
awhile for the adulteration to settle. (See also chloroform 
test.) 

Aniline —Is often adulterated with sugar, and is sold as 
commercial aniline by all houses. If bought as pure , and 
suspected, put a few grains in a little pure alcohol, which 
will dissolve the aniline and leave the sugar. If the alco¬ 
hol has water in it this test will not answer. 

Cloves, cassia and other ground spices, show their adul¬ 
terations best to the microscope, except where the adulter¬ 
ation is great enough to be observed by the unassisted eye. 
No ordinary chemical tests will reach most of these frauds, 
as the adulteration is nearly always with vegetable matter 
with like properties with the spices. 


Calomel —For Corrosive Sublimate mix with four or 
five times its weight of water and agitate the mixture 
occasionally during fifteen or twenty minutes, then filter, 
dry the residue and carefully weigh it. If it has lost no 
appreciable weight, there is no Corros. Sublim. piesent, as 
that is soluble in water. Pure Calomel will completely 
volatilize. 

Cochineal —Adulterated by weighting with black lead 
or other dark substances. Put the suspected article in 
water after weighing, let the insects remain in ten or fifteen 
minutes with occasional stirring, then remove from the 
water, dry and weigh them and the loss in weight repre¬ 
sents the amount of adulteration. 

Chloroform, Chemically Pure—Does not redden Lit¬ 
mus nor give a cloudiness with Nitrate of Silver, and 
remains colorless when boiled with potash. Mixed with Cone. 
Sulph. Acid and shaken, it should separate in half an hour 
into two colorless layers.

Adulterations— Coat’d. 

Another Test. Mr. Hardy states that Sodium when dried 
by wiping with unsized paper, does not act on pure Chloro¬ 
form, but if Alcohol or Ether are present hydrogen is 
disengaged at once. 

Cream Tartar —For Terra Alba , dissolve in a solution 
of Caustic Potash which leaves the impurity undissolved. 
For Lime in any form, dissolve in Aqua Ammonia and add a 
little solution of Oxalate of Ammonia which will precipi¬ 
tate Chalk or Lime in any form. For Starch or Flour , test 
the solution with Iodine for the blue color. 

Fruit Extracts or Juices, for Aniline—C. Puscher 
recommends dipping a silken or woolen thread into the 
Extract and let the stain dry. If the color is from the fruit 
it will easily wash out, but if made with Aniline, it will 
have a rose color.— Pharm. Centr. Halle. 

Mustard, Ground—Is often adulterated with Flour or 
Meal, and colored with Turmeric, and sometimes with 
Chrome Yellow. The latter is a dangerous admixture, 


and any firm manufacturing or knowingly selling such 
goods should receive the active disapprobation of every 
honest dealer. The microscope is perhaps the best test for 
Corn-meal or bran, and Tinct. of Iodine for the flour or 
starch. For the Lead or Chrome Yellow, add to a watery 
mixture of the suspected Mustard, dilute Muriatic Acid 
until it shows a clear reaction on litmus paper, then drop 
in a few grains of Sulphuret of Potassium, which will 
give the mixture a reddish brown tint if lead is present 
and leave it unchanged if it is free. A still more positive 
test is to pass Sulphuretted Hydrogen through the mixture. 
For evidence of turmeric coloring, use a solution of borax, 
which gives a dark brown color with turmeric. Turmeric is 
added for the purpose of concealing the comparatively 
harmless adulteration with flour or meal, which reduces 
strength and cheapens the goods without danger to anything 
but the consumer’s purse. 

Test for Purity of Quinine —Put 14 grains of the 
suspected Quinine in one ounce of water and add ten drops 
of chemically pure Sulphuric Acid. To this solution add a

Biroths Pepsin. 


This Pepsin has received considerable attention from physicians during the season of infantile 
summer complaint. It is the only Pepsin in the market which contains the digestive principle of the 
Pig’s Stomach and Calf’s Rennet Combined, the latter has the property of forming a soft floccu- 
lentcoagulum with cow’s milk, resembling that formed by the human gastric juice with human milk. 

The fundamental cause of Slimmer Complaint, is undoubtedly Indigestion. Milk remaining 
in the stomach for some length of time without being digested, especially during the hot weather of 
our Summer months, soon undergoes fermentation. The acids formed during this process, together 
with the hard curd precipitated by them, produces an irritation in the infantile stomach, causing 
vomiting and diarrhoea, followed by general exhaustion and ending in the death of the child. 

In administering this Pepsin, the hard coagulum is dissolved, the acetous fermentation is checked 
and the formation of new hard curd is thus prevented. Now normal digestion again takes place, 
aided especially by small doses of Pepsin (two or three grains), the child recovers rapidly; the 
sunken eyes resume their former brightness; the appetite increases, and life and vigor are once more 
restored. 

This Pepsin is also used successfully in artificial feeding. A large proportion of the infants in this 
country are raised with cow’s milk, which is more difficult to digest than mother’s milk, hence the 
prevalence of constant illness and the larger mortality among these children. There is no remedy 
which acts so beneficially in such cases as Pepsin, given before each meal, either in form of powder 
or wine.

Official Decision Upon Pharmaceutical Stills. 

Treasury Department. ) 

Office of Internal Revenue, v 

Washington, April 21, 1879. ) 

The last clause of section 3,246 Revised Statutes, as amended by 
sections of the Act of March 1st, 1879, reads as follows: 

“Nor shall any special tax be imposed upon apothecaries as to 
wines or spirituous liquors which they use exclusively in the prepara¬ 
tion or making up of medicines.” 

This exemption extends over the entire chapter of special taxes, 
so that an apothecary can neither be required to pay special tax as a 
liquoruealerfor selling medicinal preparations,though spiritUQUS liquor 
or wine be a component part thereof, nor be required to pay special 
tax as a rectifier for purifying, refining, or in any manner treating 
liquors for use in the preparation of his medicines. 

But the exemption relates only to medicinal preparations, and an 
apothecary, therefore, is not exempt from the liquor dealer’s special 
tax. if he sells unmixed distilled spirits (including pure alcohol) or 
wines, though he sells them strictly as medicines, and even upon a 
physician’s prescription. Many apothecaries, nearly all, perhaps, are 
consequently compelled to hold special tax stamps as retail dealers in 


liquors, to comply with the terms of the law, and at the same time 
meet the demands of their customers for pure liquors for medicinal pur¬ 
poses. The exigencies of their business also require them, as drug¬ 
gists, to keep pharmaceutical stills, or distilling apparatus. But under 
the third sub-division of section 3,244 Revised Statutes, a retail dealer 
in liquors who has in his possession a still, is to be regarded as a rec¬ 
tifier, and as being engaged in the business of rectifying. The question 
has, therefore, been presented, whether an apothecary holding a special 
tax stamp as a retail dealer in liquors, and having in his possession a 
still for use in the preparation of medicinal compounds, must not be re¬ 
quired to pay the rectifier’s special tax. 

Aftercareful consideration of this question, the conclusion is ar¬ 
rived at that the exemption from special tax accorded to apothecaries 
by that provision of the statute hereinbefore cited, applies not only to 
the sale by them of medicinal preparations, or compounds composed in 
part of distilled spirits, or wines, but also to any and all mechanical 
appliances and processes which they may find to be necessary or useful 
in the preparation or making up of medicines, and that an apothecary 
therefore, notwithstanding the fact of his holding a special tax stamp as 
a liquor dealer, is not subject to special tax as a rectifier, on account of 
his keeping a still or distilling apparatus for use exclusively in the 
treating of liquors, etc., employed in the making up of medicines.

Adulterations— Cont’d. 

few drops of solution of Sulpho Cyanide of Potassium (2 
drachms to one oz. of water), when the salts contained in the 
Quinine solution will be precipitated and if Cinchonidia, 
Quinidia or Cinchonia are present they will be each known 
by their characteristic crystals. Or, place a small drop of each 
solution on a glass plate side by side, and place another thin 
glass plate over them, and as their edges touch examine the 
line of junction with a magnifying glass, and an adultera¬ 
tion of yoVo" S r * °f foreign salt can be detected ,—London 
Phatm. Jour. 

Rhubarb, Powdered—Put a few grains on white 
blotting paper, and add several drops of Chloroform. If 
of light colored Chinese Root and pure, but a very light 
stain will result, for the darker varieties a deep yellow 
stain occurs. Sprinkle over these stains a little powdered 
Borax, and add one drop of Muriatic Acid. If the 
powdered root is pure no change in color will follow, but 
if Turmeric has been mixed with it, the spot will soon turn 
red. Turmeric is not generally added with a view to 


cheapen the Rhubarb by weight, but to make a poor 
quality look and sell as a prime, light colored article. 

Saffron, Spanish-— For admixture with Safflower, soak 
the flowers, and examine their structure. The usual adul¬ 
teration is Honey or Glycerin and Barytes or other heavy 
powder, which adheres to the Saffron because of the 
Glycerin or Honey. Put one drachm in an ounce of water, 
allow it to stand a half hour with occasional stirring, then 
let it stand a few minutes to settle, and pour off the water 
and flowers, dry and weigh both the sediment and the 
Saffron ; the lost weight represents the Glycerin, and it and 
the sediment represent the amount of adulteration which 
sometimes reaches fifty per cent., making a very low 
priced article and a good profit to the mixer, or dealer who 
sells it for a pure article. 

Santonin —Is said by a French chemist to be adulterated 
at times with Boric Acid. Test by placing in Alcohol, 
which dissolves the Santonin and leaves the Acid. 

Continued on page 76. 


Ready Method of Testing the Comparative Value 
of Preparations of Pepsine. 



In a test tube not less ihan % of an inch in diameter, dissolve 
ten grains of Pepsine in ten drachms of water. When the solution 
is complete add to it ten drachms of saturated solution of common 
salt. The Pepsine precipitated by the salt solution will speedily 
rise to the top, and in a few hours will a sume a compact form on 
the surface of the fluid. Then paste vertically upon ti e tube a 
narrow slip of paper, in length exactly equal to the height of the 
floating precipitate, marking upon it the name of the maker of the 
Pepsine. This forms a standard of comparison for other Pepsines. 
Empty and wash the tube and proceed in precisely the same manner 
with any o her Pepsine which you may wish to compare with the 
first. This tube may be used for comparative tests until it is sur¬ 
rounded by slips of paper, and each slip will represent the com¬ 
parative amount of Pepsine contained in any given preparation. 
The color of the precipitate will approximately indicate the purity 
of the preparation; a light nearly transparent precipitate indicating 
a pure Pepsine, and a dark, muddy precipitate indicating an impure 
one. Preparations yielding no precipitate may be marked by a slip 
of paper extending above the line. The above cut illustrates the 
method and the markings repr sent the results of actual precipita¬ 
tions of the various preparations.

76 THE DRUGGISTS READY REFERENCE. 


Adulterations— Cont’d. 

Scammony, Powdered—If pure will dissolve in Ether to 
the extent of 75 to 90 per cent. It is sometimes adulterated 
with earthy matter and with meal. Put a little of the sus¬ 
pected powder in dilute Muriatic Acid and if any mineral or 
earthy matter is present effervescence ensues. For flour 
apply the Iodine test. 

To Discover Lead in Tartaric Acid —Tartaric 
Acid is frequently contaminated with lead, from the 
fact that a large proportion of the commercial acid is 
crystalized in leaden vessels. This may be discovered by 
passing sulphuretted hydrogen gas through a solution of 
half an ounce of the acid in about four ounces of water, 
when a black or brown precipitate will be produced 
according to the amount of the contamination. 

Tests for Some Adulterations of Vegetable Pow¬ 
ders —Dr. C. Himly in the Year Book of Pharmacy for 
1877, says Chloroform is useful in detecting mineral adul¬ 
terations in vegetable powders, and determining the amount 
of adulteration with reasonable accuracy. He says in each 


experiment a small quantity of the Powder was well shaken 
with about half a test tube full of Chloroform and the 
mixture allowed to rest for 12 hours, when the following 
drugs were found to have completely risen to the surface, 
viz: Acacia, Tragacanth, Starches, Myrrh, Barbadoes 

Aloes, Jalap, Saffron, Cinchonas, Nux Vomica, Mustard, 
White Pepper, Capsicum and Guarana ; mineral adultera¬ 
tions were found at the bottom and the quantity was easily 
ascertained by pouring off the supernatant liquor and 
powder, evaporating the remaining Chloroform and weigh¬ 
ing the mineral powder. Gamboge, Scammony, Opium, 
Socotrine Aloes, Licorice Root, Ginger, Colocynth, Ipecac, 
Cassia and Cardamons would not thoroughly rise, but 
separated, part rising and part sinking, consequently the 
test is not universal in it's application to vegetable sub¬ 
stances.

78 THE DRUGGISTS' READY REFERENCE. 


ADULTERATIONS OF ESSENTIAL OILS. 

Oil of Bitter Almonds —Is adulterated with Nitro- 
Benzole or Essence of Myrrbane. J. M. Maisch, an 
authority in such matters, says: Dissolve half a drachm of 
the suspected oil in 2 or 3 drachms of Alcohol, add 15 
grains of C. P. fused Caustic Potash, heat for a few min¬ 
utes so as to dissolve the potash, and reduce the liquid to 
one third its volume, and set aside to cool. If pure the 
oil will remain liquid, but if Nitro-Benzole is present a 
crystaline deposit will take place, proportioned to the 
amount of adulteration. 

Oil Anise —Is adulterated with Castor Oil, with 
Alcohol, and with the two mixed, also with Spermaceti. 
Pure oil should have a specific gravity of .97 to .99 and 
should freeze about 50° Fahr. For Castor Oil, put a few 
drops on unsized paper and apply heat. If a fixed grease 
spot is left, Castor oil will account for it. If spermaceti 
is present, its crystals will differ in form from the oil crys¬ 
tals and will also sink to the bottom of the bottle, as the 
oil is chilled to the crystalizing point. 


Oil Bergamot —Has a neutral reaction with test paper, 
when pure, and dissolves in half its own weight of pure 
Alcohol, while Oil of Orange decreases its solubility. 

Oil Cloves —Has a specific gravity of 1.034 to 1*056. 
If suspected, mix a little with an Alcoholic solution of 
Potash, and the disappearance of the clove odor will gener¬ 
ally make manifest the odor of any adulteration. 

Oil Lavender —Should have a specific gravity of .876 
or .880 and be completely soluble in five parts of weight of 
Alcohol of a specific gravity of .894. Oil of Spike increases 
the specific gravity, and Spts. of Turpentine decreases its 
solubility. 

Oil Peppermint — Adulterated with terebinthinate 
Oils is tested by dropping on Iodine Scales; a violent 
explosive puff gives evidence of impurity. If the oil is 
quite new it will smoke with this test, but there will be no 
puff.

THE DRUGGISTS' READY REFERENCE. 


Adulterations, Etc.—Cont’d. 

Oil Rose- At 54 to 55 0 F., should congeal quickly and 
show clear floating scales, while Spermaceti adulteration 
will be deposited in crystals sinking to the bottom of the 
test tube or bottle. 

Another Test —Mix 5 drops of the oil to be tested with 2 
drops pure concentrated Sulphuric Acid ; whether the oil 
be adulterated or not a thick yellowish-brown or reddish- 
brown mixture results; when this cools shake it up with 3 
drachms of absolute Alcohol. If now the oil is pure a 
tolerable clear yellowish-brown results, which after heating 
to boiling, remains clear. But should the Otto be adul¬ 
terated with Geranium (a common practice), the solution 
remains cloudy, and in some cases a darker fluid separates, 
in which a deposit forms. On heating this solution the 
sediment melts together, and from the size of the mass so is 
the degree of adulteration: If, for example, the mass has 
one-fourth the volume of a drop, he concludes that the 
Otto was mixed with one-third of other oil. If the Otto 
should be adulterated with Spermaceti, this substance sep¬ 


arates and floats on the surface of the solution or remains I 
suspended in the liquid, as a scaly crystaline mass. This 
test is founded on the circumstance that pure Otto forms ; 
with strong Sulph. Acid, a resinous substance, which is com¬ 
pletely insoluble in absolute Alcohol. The odor of pure 
Otto is not affected by mixture with strong Sulph. Acid. If 
other oils are present a disagreeable odor is developed. 

—Journal of Pharmacy. 


Oil Wintergreen —Is sometimes adulterated with Oil 
of Sassafras, which can be detected by adding a little strong 
Nitric Acid to the suspected oil. If Sassafras is present, 
the oil turns dark red, and soon shows a brown resinous 


mass. 


For most essential oils, especially including Lavender 
Flowers, Lemon, Peppermint and Sassafras, a cultivated 
sense of smell is the surest detective of impurity. The most 
extensive buyers depend entirely upon the delicate odor 
of the true oil as their guide in purchasing.

82 THE DRUGGISTS' READY REFERENCE. 


CARE OF ESSENTIAL OILS. 

They should be kept out of the bright sunlight and in 
amber colored bottles ; also in the coolest part of the store. 
Always cleanse the shop bottle with Alcohol and Salicylic 
Acid after dispensing one purchase, before adding new 
stock. A little absolute Alcohol (i part in 16 or 20) added 
to essential oils that cut readily with it, often preserves 
them from becoming terebinthinate with age, if added 
before the change commences. 

A pure essential oil that has become slightly terebin¬ 
thinate by age, may be sweetened by shaking with a 
watery solution of Permanganate of Potash, and decanting 
into a clean bottle. 


TO DETECT CASTOR OIL IN VOLATILE OILS. 

H. N. Draper gives the following test: Place 20 drops 
of the suspected oil in a capsule, and heat on a sand bath 
until the odor of the oil is no longer perceived. To the 
residue add 5 or 6 drops of Nitric Acid, and as soon as the 


fumes disappear dilute with a solution of Carbonate of 
Soda. If Castor Oil be present it will be manifest by its odor. 

Another test for adulteration with fixed oils is to pour a 
few drops of the suspected oil on blotting pad or unsized 
paper, and subject to moderate heat. If pure the stain will 
almost entirely disappear ; if adulterated with fixed oil a 
plain grease spot will be left. 

Test for Ascertaining the Presence of Alcohol 
in Essential Oils —J. J. Bernonli recommends for this 
purpose dry Acetate of Potash, which is added to the 
suspected oil. This salt dissolves in the Alcohol and forms 
a solution from which the volatile oil separates. If the oil 
be free from Alcohol, the salt remains dry therein. 

Another Test —Add a given volume of water to the 
suspected oil. Shake the mixture and note the increase of 
water volume, if any, as water takes the Alcohol from the 
oil. 

Olive Oil —It is very difficult to prescribe an unfailing 
test for the purity of this oil, but by combining taste, con¬ 
gealing point (at 50° Fah. it separates white crystaline

Calcined Magnesia. 

FIRST PREMIUM SILVER MEDALS 

Awarded by the Franklin Institute, Philadelphia, Awarded by the American Institute, New York, and 

by the Mechanics Association, Boston, by the Maryland Institute. 

In the report of the 20th Exhibition of American Manufactures by the Franklin Institute, it is stated 

THAT HUSBAND’S MAGNESIA “IS [BELIEVED TO BE THE BEST IN THE UNITED STATES.” 


ISINGLASS ADHESIVE PLASTER. 

This Plaster has been found to be admirably adapted to Strapping after Surgical Operations, 
and as a dressing to either incised or lacerated wounds. It is cleanly, of easy ap¬ 
plication, adheres firmly WITHOUT PRODUCING INFLAMMATION,' and being 
semi-transparent allows of an examination of the parts without 
their having to be disturbed by its removal, until, in 
many instances, the cure is effected. 

This Plaster is not Affected by Age, and will bear Exposure to any Climate. 

Professor Mutter, in his late edition of Professor Liston’s Lectures on Surgery, etc., remarks that, 

“The Isinglass Plaster referred to by Mr. Liston, is exceedingly well made by Mr. Husband of this city, and for 
some time past I have almost abandoned the use of the old Adhesive Plaster of the shops, which often, in persons of 
delicate skin, or children, produces troublesome irritation.”

flakes and at 30° F. solidifies), and complete saponification 
with Aqua Ammonia, its purity or otherwise can be estab¬ 
lished. We offer in addition the following from a French 
Pharm. Journal: 

Test for Purity of Olive Oil —In the numerous experi¬ 
ments we have made to ascertain the purity of Olive Oil, 
we have yet found no test giving better indications than 
the following: Mix 3 parts of pure Nitric Acid, 1.3815 sp. 
gr. Baume and I part water. The operation is performed 
in a test tube or vial; three grammes of the oil to be tested 
are mixed with 1 gramme of the test liquid, and the 
mixture is heated on a water bath. If the oil be pure the 
liquid becomes clearer, and takes a yellow color like that 
of purified olive oil, but if adulterated, the transparency 
will be the same but of a reddish color; with 5 per cent, 
adulteration, the reddish color is characteristic, and with an 
adulteration amounting to 10 per cent, is decisive. The 
process occupies but 15 or 20 minutes, and the coloration 
of the oil lasts for several days. 

— Jour, de Phar. et de Chimie. 


Detection of Fusel Oil in Spirit of Wine— 
Chloride of Calcium in small pieces is put into a beaker, 
and just enough of the suspected spirit is poured over it to 
moisten the whole. The beaker is then covered with a 
glass plate and allowed to stand. In a short lime if the 
Fusel oil be present, the smell will be distinctly perceptible, 
and will become stronger and stronger on standing for 
some hours. The impossibility of recognizing small quan¬ 
tities of Fusel oil in spirit, depends upon the insensibility 
of the olfactory nerves produced by the vapor of Alcohol. 
If we wish to smell Fusel oil alone, we must prevent 
Alcohol vapor from rising ; this is best done by mixing the 
Alcohol with Chloride of Calcium which fixes it. Fusel 
oil also combines with Chloride of Calcium, but the com¬ 
bination is not odorless, while the Alcohol is held so fast 
that it does not disturb the smell of the Fusel oil.

THE DRUGGISTS' READY REFERENCE. 


RANCIDITY OF FATS. 

Mr. T. B. Groves read a valuable paper before the 
Pharmaceutical Conference at a late meeting, on the subject 
of the Rancidity of Fats, cause, mode of detection, pre¬ 
vention, etc. He considers that rancidity is due to the 
joint action of air, water, albuminous matter, and a 
moderate degree of heat. He finds the best chemical 
test to be Iodide of Potassium, which, when mixed with 
fats in the least degree affected, quickly assumed an orange 
color, indicative of the presence of free Iodine, the tint 
being directly proportionate to the amount of rancidity. 

lADULTERATION of lard. 

A writer in the Pharmaceutical Journal says that 
he lately obtained a quantity of lard from a respectable 
pork dealer which was beautifully white ; indeed he had 
never seen an article that looked better. His first trial of 
it was in preparing ointment of Nitrate of Mercury. The 
color, when the mercurial solution was added, was the 
reverse of citrine, indeed, decidedly saturnine, developing 


in a short time a full slate color. Surprised at this unpre¬ 
cedented result, the usual precautions having been taken as 
to temperature, etc., the lard was suspected, and on exami¬ 
nation was found to contain a large proportion of Lime. 
Some time after, being in conversation with a lard renderer, 
a hint was dropped as to the relation of lime to color, when 
the information was confidentially imparted that a com- 
mompractice among lard dealers was to mix from 2 to 5 P er 
cent, of Milk of Lime with the melted lard. A saponaceous 
compound is formed, which is not only pearly white, but 
will allow the stirring in, during coloring, of 25 per cent of 
water. So much for appearances. 

TO TEST BALSAM PERU. 

A test for distinguishing the difference between the true 
and sophisticated Balsam Peru. When a drop or two of 
the true Balsam is placed upon the tongue it produces a 
liquid diffused impression, while the sophisticated being 
generally a solution of resin, deposits the gum on the back 
of the teeth and tongue.

“So general has the public confidence become in Dr. Ayer’s medicines, and so great the demand for them, that 
villains are attempting to deceive the unwary by imposing upon them their worthless nostrums under a similarity of 
name. Cherry Pectoral Lozenges, Dr. Ayer’s Troches, Ayer’s Pastilles for Coughs, Cherry Pectoral 
Cough-Drops, Ayer’s Marsh and Ague Cure, Dr. Ayer’s Indian Pills, and Cherry Pectoral Wine, (none of 
which are Dr. Ayer’s manufacture or composition,) are specimens of this villainy and deceit. They not only defraud 
the sick of their money, but their health, or the recovery of their health, which is far more important than money. 
From actual counterfeits the people are protected by law, which the Doctor promptly enforces; but these evasions 
sometimes elude the law, and purchasers must protect themselves by refusing to be deceived by them.”— Dover , N.H. Bee.

To Test, Etc.— Cont’d. 

Other Tests —Hager gives the following: I. Make a 
solution of five parts table salt with twenty-three parts of 
water. Pure Balsam, dropped from a height of seven to 
eight inches, should go to the bottom, its specific gravity 
being greater than that of the solution. 

2. Shake some of the Balsam with petroleum benzine 
and let the mixture stand awhile, when the supernatent 
liquid should be perfectly clear and nearly colorless. 

3. A solution of one part Balsam in seven of Alcohol 
should be of a beautiful dark-brown color, and when mixed 
with three parts water, make a milky liquid which will not 
clear or separate within two days.— Amer. Drtig. Circular. 

TO SELECT NUTMEGS. 

Prick them with a pin. If they are good the oil will in¬ 
stantly spread around the puncture. 


TEST FOR GILT ARTICLES. 

To ascertain whether an article is gilt or made of a gold- 
colored alloy, Weber uses a solution of Bichloride of 
Copper, which gives a brown spot on an alloy ; but pro¬ 
duces no effect on a surface of gold. 


TO FIND OUT IF WATER BE HARD OR SOFT. 

Dissolve a small quantity of soap in Alcohol and let fall 
a few drops of it into a glass of the water. If the water 
becomes milky it is hard, but if little or no milkiness 
appears the water may be said to be soft. 


TO FIND OUT IF WATER CONTAINS LEAD. 

Ada to the water a little Sulphuret of Ammonia or 
Potash. If lead be present it will be known by the color 
of the water, which will have a dark brown or blackish 
tinge.

TO FIND OUT IF WATER CONTAINS IRON. 

Dissolve a crystal of Prussiate of Potash in it. If it turns 
blue there is iron in it. 


TO FIND OUT IF WATER CONTAINS COPPER. 

A few drops of Liq. Ammonia will turn it blue if copper 
be present. 

TO MAKE SULPHURETTED HYDROGEN GAS. 

Use a small tubulated retort (or a vial properly prepared) 
put in dilute Sulphuric Acid and see that all your connec¬ 
tions for passing the gas through the suspected liquid are 
made ; then drop in Sulphuret of Iron and close the retort. 
If rapid evolution of gas is desired, use Acid double the 
strength of the regular dilution, and small fragments of the 
Sulphuret of Iron, but for more careful examinations and 
slower passing of gas, use dilute Acid and large pieces of 
the Iron. The proportions are about I drachm of Sulphuret 
of Iron to I ounce of the dilute Sulphuric Acid.

belongs, as in Yellow Root, which is given to Zanthoriza Apiifoiia, 
although the Hydrastis Canadensis and Coptis Trifolia, both claim it 
in sections of the country.

FLUU Lightning. 

( TRADE MARK. ) 

Unsurpassed for the INSTANT Cure of Rheumatism, Neuralgia, Nervous 
Headache, Toothache, Earache, and all other Pains. 


Prof. Edison, Electrician, Uses it. 


Menlo Park, N. J., October 30, 1878. 


Messrs. Cram & Melcher, Chicago, Ill. 

Dear Sirs: The bottle of Fluid Lightning was duly received. Please accept my thanks for 
your kindness. I experienced immediate relief from its use, Very truly, T. A. EDISON. 


“Jumping: from hell to heaven.” 

Mr. Ball, Steward of the Cunard Steamship China, writes Feb. 18, 1878 : “ I thank you a thousand times for the 

Fluid Lightning for Neuralgia, It cured me on the first using. It was like jumping .from hell to heaven. I have used 
it on 20 or 30 persons, and it has acted like a charm. It cured the Chief Engineer of Toothache and Douloureux. It is 
capital stuff.” 

From the Rev. Henry G. Perry, M.A., of All Saints Episcopal Parish. Chicagro, Ill. 

Chicago, III., August 20, 1879. 

Having had several years’ experience with your Fluid Lightning, specific for Neuralgia, Rheumatic and other pains, 
I will say that it proves highly efficacious in these cases, and I know of its affording almost immediate relief to those 
long suffering tortures of Nervous Headache, Toothache, Tic Douloureux, and similar affections in various parts of the 
body. Personally I have derived appreciable benefit from its use. Sincerely yours, 

To Samuel H. Melcher, M.D. HENRY G. PERRY, M.A. 


Once introduced it recommends itself, and there is a constant and increasing demand. It is one of the few remedies 
that is “ selling on its merits .” 

Send in your orders, if only for a small quantity, and we are confident you will continue as well as increase them 
after having once tested it, as it not only gives satisfaction to your customers, but affords a good profit to you.

TRADE MARKS. 

We had intended giving a summary of the law governing 
trademarks, but the recent decision of the United States 
Supreme Court has thrown the whole matter into confusion, 
and imperils most valuable rights and properties secured 
under the law of Congress authorizing the registry of trade¬ 
marks by the Patent Office Department. The decision of 
the court is, in substance, that a trade mark does not in¬ 
volve invention, discovery or novelty, and can not therefore 
be protected under the law intended to protect inventors, 


authors or discoverers. This renders invalid about eight 
thousand registered trade marks, and imperils vast inter¬ 
ests built up under the Congressional law, and also cuts off 
about $40,000 annual income to the Patent Office from the 
fees paid. In view of the importance of the matter, not 
only to our domestic interests, but also to our relations with 
foreign governments, with whom we have treaty obligations 
guaranteeing such protection to their citizens under the 
provisions of the late law, it is likely that prompt effort will 
be made by the present Congress to enact a law that will 
not be unconstitutional.

The above cut represents our Suppository Mould as it appears 
when opened. 

It is made of brass in three leaves and is equivalent to two 
moulds, there being 18 cells adult size, on one [side, and the same 
number, infant size, on opposite side. 

It is now made extra heavy, of beautiful finish, and at the price 
is the most economical mould in the market, as it will last a lifetime 
without repairs. 

We can give no stronger endorsement of this mould than to 
quote the report adopted by the American Pharmaceutical Associa¬ 
tion at their meeting in Boston, in 1875, as read by It. V. Mattison, 
Esq. 

“The Mould offered the trade by Messrs. Benton, Myers & Co., 
of Cleveland, O., has not its superior if even equal among the entire 
list of moulds. It is adapted to the wants of the smallest retailer 
or the largest manufacturer, and is, we believe, as perfect as it is 
possible to viake a Suppository Mould.” 

To avoid splitting the suppositories, open the mould but slightly 
at first, then press on the top of each suppository with the thumb, 
it will at once spring them loose. 

Dusting the inside of the mould with Lycopodium, will prevent 
sticking of the suppositories. 

Price, $8.00 each by Express C. O. D., or when cash accompan¬ 
ies order, expressage will be prepaid.

SELLER’S IMPERIAL COUGH SYRUP. 

THE GREAT CURATIVE. 

Pittsburgh, April 19, 1853. 

R. E. Sellers:—I have been troubled with a cough for the last five 
years, by reason of which I have frequently been unable to sleep 
more than half the night. I tried many remedies, but all in vain. 
I heard of your Cough Syrup, and resolved to try it, and now state 
that the use of a few bottles has cured me entirely. I cheerfully 
recommend it as a safe, speedy and pleasant cure for coughs and 
colds. WM. WOODS. 

JOHNSON’S RHEUMATIC COMPOUND. 

THE GREAT INTERNAL REMEDY. 

Columbus. Ohio, February 3, 1876. 

Messrs. R. E. Sellers Sc Co.:— I take great pleasure in stating that 
two bottles of your celebrated Rheumatic Compound cured me of a 
very bad attack of rheumatism. It was recommended to me by Mr. 
Florence Cramer, of your city, who was cured by its use. Inclosed 
please find one dollar for another bottle, which! am ordering for a 
friend. JOHN SAUL, 22 East Friend St. 

Dr. J. M. Lindsey’s Improved Blood Searcher 

Is the great Remedy for all Blood Diseases, such as Ulcers, Scrofu¬ 
lous Diseases, Erysipelas. Pimples, Sore Eyes, Scald Head, 
Mercurial Diseases, etc., etc. 

SAVED BY LINDSEV’S BLOOD SEARCHER. 

Painesville, Ohio, October 6, 1874. 

Messrs. R. E. Sellers Sc Co.:—Our son was taken sick with -what 
our family physician pronounced pneumonia. He treated him for 
this disease, but the boy grew worse. An abscess formed in his side 


which, on being: punctured, discharged two quarts of matter. We 
became exceedingly alarmed,-and called in the best physicians of 
Cleveland. They pronounced the disease scrofula of the worst 
form, and that death only could relieve the sufferer. As the physi¬ 
cians could do nothing,we were persuaded to try the Blood Searcher, 
and, to our great surprise and delight, he began immediately to 
improve. We continued its use, and in a very short time he w r as 
restored to perfect health. Our boy’s life was saved by the use of 
this wonderful medicine. MR. JOHN F. BROOKS. 

I endorse the above statement as true. 

REV. M. PETERS, Painesville, O. 

THE GREAT HOLLAND REMEDY. 

Bcerhaves’ Holland Bitters.— Persons subject to nervous or sick 
headache will find in Bcerhaves' Holland Bitters a sure, safe and 
pleasant remedy, it soothes the throbbing head, corrects acidity of 
the stomach, assists digestion, and creates a healthy appetite. It is 
without doubt, a most delightful preparation, and an effectual rem¬ 
edy. The fact that it is now a very popular medicine throughout 
all the Holland settlements in Wisconsin, New York, Michigan, Illi¬ 
nois and Indiana, speaks much in its favor.— Pittsburg Gazette. 

SELLER’S VERMIFUGE. 

THE BEST IN USE, PHYSICIANS RECOMMEND IT. 

SELLER’S LIVER PILLS. 

Have been the Standard Remedy for the cure of Liver Com¬ 
plaints, Costiveness, Sick Headache, and all derangements of the 
Stomach and Liver for over fifty years. Read: “ Seller’s Liver Pills 
cured me of an attack of Liver Complaint of eight years’ standing.”

JHMEJS JR. GjEU)JVEJN’S 

Gelatine Capsules. 

These Capsules have now been in the market with constantly increasing sales for over FORTY YEARS, a fact which 
speaks volumes for their excellence. They will keep unimpaired in any climate for any length of time, provided they 
are not exposed to direct contact with the sun or fire. 

It will be especially observed that these Capsules are made uniformly thin — thus making room for a larger amount 
of the medicine itself than is found in the Capsules of any other maker. Their admirable oval-oblong shape renders 
them easy to swallow. 


THESE CAPSULES ARE FROM 


15 TO 20 PER CENT. CHEAPER THAN ANY OTHER FIRST* CLASS GOODS, 

And in no event will the Quality be Sacrificed to Cheapness.

The demand for a pure Castile Soap (such as many well known brands were before adulteration was so generally 
practiced), has induced us to secure an article of Castile Soap that we can recommend as perfectly pure. 

Experts pronounce the above brand equal to any and superior to most of the Castile Soap sold at the present 
time. We have both the “White” and the “ Mottled,” and assure the trade of its absolute purity and freedom from 
clay, marble dust, etc., etc., which most brands of Castile Soap now contain to a very great degree. 

We can supply you with either bars or cakes. The cakes weigh lb. and y z lb., and are packed assorted, in 
boxes of about 40 lbs. net. 

This Soap will be found to be both effective and pleasant to use, and to possess all the desirable qualities for which 
pure Castile Soaps are famous. The fact that you can give your trade Soap that'Ts strictly pure in every respect, will 
justify you in giving it the preference. 

Soliciting your orders, we are 

Very respectfully,

German Tinctures, Prepared From the 
Green Plant. 

BY GEHE & CO., DRESDEN, 

AND IMPORTED BY 

WM. S. MERRELL & CO., Cincinnati. 

The uncertain character of many kinds of crude drugs 
of foreign growth, as purchased in the open market 
from importers, has led to our making special arrange¬ 
ments for direct importation , in order to secure reliable 
and carefully selected material for own preparations. 
The medicinal properties of some articles, however, are 
much injured by the drying process , and they are fre¬ 
quently rendered inert by age and exposure. All such 
articles we import in the form of Tinctures , in original 
packages of one and five pounds. 

The manufacture of these Tinctures from fresh plant has 
become a specialty with some of the German houses, 
and great care is taken in their preparation. Our im¬ 
portations being only from houses of established reputa¬ 
tion, the quality may be relied on with confidence. 

The following list embraces such as are now in stock ; 
and we shall continue to make additions to meet the de¬ 
mands of the Profession.

VERDURINE. 


What is said of it. 


Laboratory of Rush Medical College 
Chicago,, Nov i, 1878. 

Having subjected “ VERDU- 
RLNE” to a careful chemical ex¬ 
amination, I find it to be a skill¬ 
fully prepared compound of those 
substances that science has demon¬ 
strated to be the most valuable 
stimulants of plant growth^ and 
the most useful foods for plant 
nutrition. It will restore to 
the soil the very substances that 
plants abstract from it,—com¬ 
pounds upon which they live and 
without which they cannot flourish. 

If used as directed, it must as 
surely promote plant growth, as 
an abundance of proper, well pre¬ 
pared food, will increase the size 
and vigor of animals.

CARBOLIC ACID FOR PRESERVING BODIES. 

Professor Guillery has demonstrated anew the powerful 
antiseptic properties of Carbolic Acid, in some recent expe¬ 
riments. He enveloped a fresh cadaver in a cloth satu¬ 
rated with a solution containing 2 per cent, of the Acid, 
and, after an interval of 4 or 5 days, poured more of the 
solution over the body. By this treatment putrefaction 
was entirely prevented, the body after 6 months presenting 
no signs of decomposition, and being but little altered in 
appearance. At the Morgue, in Paris, a solution contain¬ 
ing one twentieth of 1 per cent, of Carbolic Acid, sprinkled 
over the bodies arrested putrefaction even during the heat 
of summer. Chlorine had previously proved ineffectual to 
disinfect the atmosphere of the dead house. 

—From Year Book of Pharmacy, 1872. 


Vegetable Charcoal —Will absorb and retain many 
gases and foul odors, if placed in the liquid or mass pro¬ 
ducing them. 


Dry Earth—M akes an excellent disinfectant of privy 
vaults. 

To Disinfect Clothing —Subject it to dry heat, as 
great as it will bear without injury to the texture. 

Condie’s Disinfectant —Crude Permanganate of Pot¬ 
ash half ounce ; Water half pint. Put a few teaspoonsful 
in the room to be disinfected and renew as often as the 
solution loses its color. For purifying foul water a tea¬ 
spoonful to the barrel is sufficient to sweeten, and if added 
until a faint tinge of color shows in the water, all injurious 
organic matter will be destroyed. If the water is for 
drinking put in a little coffee or tea—a teaspoonful, and 
the tinge will disappear leaving the water pure and whole¬ 
some. 

For Privy Vaults or Cess Pools —Having a rotten 
egg smell (Sulphuretted Hydrogen) use Copperas in coarse 
powder. One or two pounds to an ordinary vault will be 
ample, as a general rule, to remove all unpleasant odor.

Tar Soap 


PACKERS 

Cutaneous Charm 

FOR 

PERSISTENT SKIN DISEASES. 


COMPOSITION: Sweet Veg¬ 
etable Oil, Pure Glycerine, 
Refined Pine Tar, scientifically 
united by a process peculiar to our 
laboratory, which no rival has at¬ 
tempted to imitate. 

It affords a rich, mild, abundant, 
and agreeable lather. It is cleansing, 
soothing, and healing in its effects. 
These qualities have commended it 
to the medical profession throughout 
the civilized world. 

PACKER’S 

TAR SOAP 

has not been extensively advertised. 
It has achieved its unparalleled success and its reputation as “un¬ 
questionably the 

Best Soap for the Toilet, Bath , and Nursery, 

AND VARIOUS 

SKIN AND SCALP DISEASES/’ 

almost wholly upon its own merits and the recommendation of 
leading physicians. Merchants who have assisted in the introduc¬ 
tion or Packer’s Soap, will testify that it finds a ready and steadily 
increasing sale, and that no similar article has given greater satis¬ 
faction or is more attractive to customers. 

It is put up in large cakes, richly wrapped, labeled, and boxed, 
and being unique in appearance, it presents a handsome contrast 
to other soaps usually found in druggists’ stocks. 

For sale by Wholesale Druggists everywhere. 

Sold by MORRISSON, PLUMMER & CO. 


A remedy which druggists can confidently recommend to chronic 
sufferers from 

SALT RHEUM, ECZEMA, AND OTHER CU¬ 
TANEOUS AILMENTS. 

It has performed many notable cures, and, being sold at popular 
prices (25 and 50 cents for 3 and 8 oz. bottles), it finds a ready sale. 
It is recommended in connection with Packer’s Soap, which gives 
it a powerful impetus. Elaborate advertising matter supplied. 
A sample order solicited. 


KNAPP’S 

Throat Cure. 

The popularity of this medicine Is rapidly extending. It has the 
advantage of being practically a specific for certain forms of 

TH ROAT DISEASE. 

It has performed some very astonishing cures, notably that of 
Rev. Dr. Knapp, of New York, the history of whose case has at¬ 
tracted wide attention. 

The Throat Cure is accompanied by excellent advertising matter, 
for which Druggists are invited to send. In every case where 
dealers have interested themselves in the THROAT 
CURE, the effort has resulted favorably to them and 
to their customers.

THE DRUGGISTS' READY REFERENCE. 


Where the odor of Carbolic Acid or Chloride of Lime is 
not objectionable, they will prove valuable disinfectants, 
especially for drains, etc. 

To Ascertain Whether the Air of a Sick Room is 
Pure or Not —Dampen a piece of white linen or muslin 
in a solution of Nitrate of Lead. If impure the cloth will 
darken, otherwise remain white. 


VALUE OF PARAFFIN IN THE LABORATORY. 

Paraffin possesses certain properties which render it useful 
in the laboratory. It may be advantageously substituted for 
oil in baths, as it endures a high temperature without 
evaporating, or emitting any unpleasant odor. Filtering 
paper after being soaked in it, may be kept several weeks 
in concentrated Sulphuric Acid without undergoing the 
slightest alteration. From this property of paraffin it may 
be advantageously applied as a coating to labels on bottles 
containing strong acids. Fluoric acid, even, does not act 


upon it except it be heated. Paraffin appears also to be use¬ 
ful in preserving fruits ; apples, pears, etc., coated with it, 
retain all their freshness during several months. 

— Year Book of Pharmacy, 1872. 


LOOSENING GROUND GLASS STOPPERS. 

First way. Hold the hand around the neck of the bot¬ 
tle 10 or 15 seconds, until its warmth expands the glass of 
the bottle, when the stopper will move easily. If it does 
not, try a higher heat by means of a rag dipped in hot 
water and wrapped around the neck of the bottle for a 
minute or so. Another way is to hold the neck of the bot¬ 
tle, cautiously turning it so as not to expose any part too 
much, or to too sudden a heat, near or over a gas jet or 
heat ffiom a lamp. —Haney s Journal. 

TO LOOSEN STOPPERS. (No. 2.) 

Rub a little salad oil, with a feather, round the stopper 
close to the mouth of the decanter, then place it a short

distance from the fire, that the heat may cause the oil to 
run between the stopper and decanter. When warm, strike 
the stopper gently with any light wooden instrument, first 
on one side, then on the other; if not movable, repeat the 
process until you can draw the stopper out. 

TO SEASON NEW GLASSWARE. 

Put Graduates, Soda Tumblers and other glass articles 
into a kettle ; cover them entirely with cold water, and put 
the kettle where it will soon boil. When it has boiled a 
few minutes, set it aside, coveredjclose. When the water is 
cold take out the glass. Treat new earthenw’are the same 
way. 

CLEANING OrCHEMICAL WARE. 

The bran from common buckwheat has been highly 
recommended for cleaning glass and other chemical ware 
from fat, balsams, and like adhesive matter, for which pur¬ 
pose it appears even better than alkali, and especially for 
narrow mouthed flasks. Where the substance is resinous, 


or adheres very firmly and is quite hard, the vessel should 
first be rinsed with hot water. Some water is then left in 
the vessel, and a sufficient quantity of bran thrown in and 
the whole shaken together. It is remarkable how rapidly 
the impurities, and even the odor of such substances as 
copaiba, are removed by this simple agent. 


PASTE WHICH WILL ADHERE TO ANY SUBSTANCE. 

Sugar of Lead-_'_...i Yz ounces. 

Alum.-.-. 1/4 

Gum Arabic..2 ]/ 2 

Wheat flour .. 1 pound. 

Water, sufficient. 

Dissolve the Gum Arabic in two quarts of warm water ; 
when cold, mix in the wheat flour, and add the Sugar of 
Lead and Alum dissolved in water. Place the whole on the 
fire, stirring constantly, and take it off when it shows signs 
of ebullition. Let it cool, and the paste is made. If the 
paste is too thick, add to it some gum water to bring it to 
the proper consistence.

LABELING TIN SEIDLITZ BOXES. 

Much inconvenience ofttimes occurs in this operation 
which may be obviated. Remove from the tin a thin film 
of grease, which prevents perfect adhesion, causing the 
paper to blister off when drying; this is accomplished by 
dipping a rag in a dilute solution of Caustic Soda or Potash, 
ten of water to one of the alkali. Rub the place where the 
label goes on and dry it with another rag. In making your 
paste add a few drops Oil Wintergreen. Labels put on in 
this manner will not come off. 


PREPARATION TO FASTEN PAPER TO TIN. 

Take good, clear glue, break it in rather small pieces, 
and let it soak a few hours in cold water. Pour off the 
supernatant water, place the glue thus softened in a wide¬ 
mouthed bottle ; add sufficient glacial acetic acid to cover 
the glue, and facilitate the solution by standing the bottle 
in warm water. This acetic glue will stick almost anything. 


TO CLEAN VERY DIRTY BRASS. 

Rub some Bichromate of Potassa fine, pour over it about 
twice the bulk of Sulphuric Acid, and mix this with an 
equal quantity of water. The dirtiest brass is cleaned in a 
trice. Wash right off in plenty of water, wipe it and rub 
perfectly dry, and polish with powdered rotten-stone. 


IODINE STAINS. 

By adding a few drops of Liquid Carbolic Acid to the 
Iodine Tincture, the latter will not stain. According to 
Dr. Bogs, Carbolic Acid also renders the efficacy of Tincture 
Iodine more certain. 


TO REMOVE SILVER STAINS. 

Put half a pound of Glauber Salts, quarter of a pound of 
the Chloride of Lime, and 8 ounces of Water, into a 
wide-mouthed bottle, and when required for use pour some 
of the thick sediment into a saucer, and rub it well over the

hands with pumice stone or a nail brush, and it will clean 
the fingers quite equal to cyanide, but without any danger. 
This will do to use over again until exhausted, and should 
be kept corked up. The disagreeable smell may be entirely 
avoided by the liberal use of lemon juice, which not only 
entirely removes the smell, but whitens the hands. 

—Photographic News. 


PHARMACEUTICAL NOTES. 

Sweet Spirits of Nitre as obtained from the manufactur¬ 
ing chemist, or as met with in the market, is more or less 
strongly acid, reddening litmus paper and liberating iodine 
from iodide of potassium. This is due to the presence of 
free acids, such as nitric, acetic, etc. These can 
readily be removed by the use of animal or vegetable char¬ 
coal, enabling thereby the exact and careful apothecary to 
dispense at all times an article of Sweet Spirits of Nitre 
that is perfectly neutral. Add two ounces of purified 


animal charcoal to one pint of Spirits Nitrous Ether, let it 
stand 8 to 12 hours with occasional shaking, and then filter. 

—Chicago Pharmacist. 


TINCT. OF KINO THAT WILL NOT GELATINIZE. 

Among the inconveniences of Pharmacy is to find your 
bottle of Tinct. Kino transformed into a jelly. Mr. J. W. 
Wood submits the following formulae to his fellow crafts¬ 
men as being a non-gelatinizing Tinct.: Take Kino in 
fine powder i l A oz., Alcohol, Deod., 8 fl. ozs. Aqua Pura, 
4 fl. ozs., Glycerin 4 fl. ozs. Mix the Alcohol, water and 
Glycerin together, and having mixed the Kino with an 
equal bulk of clean sand, introduce into a percolator and 
pour on the menstruum. The same is suggested for Tinct. 
Catechu. — Druggists' Circular , Sept., 1871. 


PRECAUTIONS IN MAKING OINTMENT. 

Where Wax and Spermaceti are used in combination 
with oil or lard, in ointments, pomades, etc., the Wax and

Precautions in Making: Ointment— Cont'd. 
them melted as soon as possible, and with the smallest 
amount of heat, not forgetting to keep the whole well 
stirred until cold. And where lard forms a part of the 
compound in addition to the wax and oil, it will in most 
cases be found that the lard can be thoroughly incorporated, 
if put in immediately upon removing the melted wax and 
oil from the fire. 


QUICK WAY OF EXTINGUISHING MERCURY. 

By shaking together I fluid drachm Tinct. Tolu and 3 
fluid ozs. Mercury the latter becomes reduced to a state of 
minute division and can then be easily mixed with fatty or 
other materials. This can be applied to many preparations. 

CHEAP COLLODION. 

A cheap way to obtain Collodion is to steep white print¬ 
ing or machine paper in concentrated Sulphuric Acid from 
five to eight minutes, wash, and dry it; it is now stiff as 
parchment, and should be cut small and digested in Ether. 

— The Year Book of Pharmacy. 


PURIFYING ESSENTIAL OILS.—(That have Deteriorated 

by Age.) 

The most simple method employed is to submit them to 
the action of borax and animal black. The solution of 
borax is mixed with the animal charcoal, to form a thin 
magma, the oil is then added, and agitated for a quarter of 
an hour, at the end of that time the magma is found, adher¬ 
ing to the sides of the bottle, while the oil flows limpid. 
The oil of Lavender, Nerob, and Peppermint may be puri¬ 
fied in this manner. Mr. Charles Bullock, of Philadelphia, 
has found that permanganate Potash is admirably adapted 
to the purpose of restoration of essential oils, the solution 
in proportion of one ounce of the salt to 8 ounces of water 
for 4 lbs. oil. N. \V. King states that he has taken a large 
can partially filled with Oil Lemon, which had acquired a 
terebinthinate odor, and by agitating it with one-third as 
much boiling water, decanting and filtering produced a per¬ 
fectly pure, sweet oil. Piesse recommends the oil Orange 
and Lemon to be kept in stock with water in the vessel.

THE DRUGGISTS' READY REFERENCE. 


CAUTIONS AS TO POISONS. 

To avoid mistakes with poisons when not intending to 
use them: Keep all active poisons as Arsenic, Corrosive 
Sublimate, Hall’s and Fowler’s Solutions, etc., in bottles 
painted with rings of black, or a large black square under 
the label, in the center of which a death’s head label might 
be pasted. 

This not only prevents using such medicines by mistake 
in place of comparatively harmless remedies, but also calls 
attention to their dangerous character when using properly 
and incites closer notice of quantities prescribed. 

It was the custom of an experienced prescription clerk 
when filling a prescription to keep all bottles used from, 
either on the counter before him or out of place, until the 
prescription was finished or all the ingredients put together, 
and then to return the bottles to their places as he checked 
them on the prescription. This precaution at one time 
prevented the completion of some troches containing 
Arsenic used for powdered Acacia. While straightening 
the bottles on the shelf the error was discovered. 


CAUTIONS IN DISPENSING. 

i Detached caution labels, as poison, to be shaken and 
for external use, should be placed on the upper part of the 
bottle, near the shoulder, because there they are read first, 
which is of the utmost importance. If pasted at the bottom 
of the bottle, below the written label, the hand that holds 
the bottle conceals involuntarily the note of warning which 
the dispenser was most anxious to convey. 2. When two 
tablespoonsful of an 8-ounce mixture is ordered to be taken 
the directions ought to state “ an eighth part,” and the bot¬ 
tle should be graduated ; a large tablespoonful holds an 
ounce, hence double doses may be given if too literally fol¬ 
lowing the directions. 3. In making effervescent mixtures 
with Potash or Soda and Citric Acid, or the like, during the 
Winter months, the water should be slightly warmed, which 
will greatly promote the effect intended, and prevent sub¬ 
sequent explosion. 4. In blending into emulsion Balsam 
and Mucilage the action is retarded by the acidity of the 
Mucilage. Made from Pulv. Acacia it is always acid ; the 
addition of a few drops of Liquor Potassa is of appreciable 
Continued on page 146. 


A SKIN OF BEAUTY IS A JOY FOREVER.” 

Every woman should be beautiful, just as every man should be dutiful. But no woman, however elegantly formed or splendidly 
developed, can be beautiful unless her “ human face divine ” is free from all spot or blemish. And this is the case ‘with very few women, 
unless they use Dr. GOURAUD’S ORIENTAL CREAM, as thousands of testimonials to this effect from distinguished artists and 
celebrated belles throughout the country will prove.

Endorsement of Gouraud’s Oriental Cream by the distinguished DR. L. A. SAYRE.—A lady of the haut ton, a patient of Dr. Sayre, dis¬ 
coursing on the use of cosmetics, he remarked to the lady: “As you ladies all use them, I recommend 4 Gouraud’s Oriental’as the least 
harmful of all the Skin preparations.”

brated Chemist and Cosmetician.

CHURCHILL’S SYRUP OF THE HYPOPHOSPHITES 


146 

Cautions in Dispensing— Cont’d. 

advantage. 5. To improve taste of Castor Oil, pour the 
dose into an ounce of Cinnamon Water add a little syrup, 
beat together and drink while intermingled. 

—British Year Book of Pharmacy, 1870. 


PROTECTION OF SUBSTANCES FROM LIGHT. 

Mr. Gibbons has suggested as a substitute for yellow glass 
in photography, Gelatine dissolved as usual and mixed with 
a hot solution of Bichromate of Potash. He states that 
this is a capital material for coating bottles intended for 
holding substances acted upon by light. The bottle need 
only be dipped in a moderately strong solution. It gives a 
clear orange tint, is perfectly firm, and after a little ex¬ 
posure to light is not affected by washing. 

—Chemical News. 


Is said to be made from the following formula: 

Hypophos. Lime---1 ]/z ounces. 

“ Soda... 

“ Potassa __each A an onnce. 

Hot Water.20 fluid ounces. 

Sugar..30 ounces. 

Orange Flower Water___i fluid ounce. 

Dissolve the Salts in the hot water, filter through paper, 
add the sugar to the solution, dissolve and add lastly the 
orange water. 


SYRUP ALTHEA. 

Macerate for 12 hours. 


Cut Marshmallow Root.1 ounce 

In Water.18 ounces. 


Strain without pressure, and if necessary add water to 
make it measure 15 fluid ounces. In this dissolve with the 
aid of heat 24 ounces of sugar.

COD-LIVER AND CASTOR OILS DEPRIVED OF THEIR 
ODOR AND TASTE. 

The Journal of Practical Medicine and Surgery states 
that the addition of the essential oil of Bitter Almonds to 
the above oils destroys the nauseous odor and fishy flavor of 
the former, and gives to the latter a pleasing perfume and 
taste. Ten drops of the essential oil are sufficient for a 
pint of the most offensive Cod-Liver Oil, and three drops 
for half a pint of Castor Oil. Caution must be used, as the 
oil is poisonous in doses larger than one drop. 

IODINE AND MILK. 

It is well known that milk takes up Iodine, disguising 
its taste, smell and color completely. Since Iodine is anti¬ 
septic, Iodized Milk will keep for some time. We would 
suggest that this, perhaps, is the mildest form of adminis¬ 
tering Iodine. 


MASKING TASTE OF EPSOM SALTS. 

Take of select Licorice Root, bruised, 4 troy ozs. ; boil¬ 
ing water, 2 pints or q. s. Mix and allow it to stand with 
occasional stirring until cold, then press through muslin, 
adding more water if necessary, until the residue no longer 
tastes, then filter. To the filtrate add Epsom Salts, 4 ozs., 
and evaporate to dryness over a sand bath. Each ounce of 
the compound represents about one ounce of the salts. 

— Am. Phar. Association , Phartnacist, Chicago. 


PALATABLE EPSOM SALTS. 

To make a dose of Salts palatable, mix with salts of 
its weight in ground coffee, and dissolve this mixture in a 
little more than 7 times its weight in water. It will be 
found quite easy to take in this way. 


MILLIONS TESTIFY 

THAT THE 



MANUFACTURED BY 


The Handy Package Dye Co., Adams Centre, N. Y., 

Are in all respects far superior to any other dyes in use. The success which has attended their use has brought them 
into favor over nearly all of the United States and Canada. We thank our many customers for their very 
liberal patronage. Our motto is “ Alivays the Best." As science aids in the production of new coloring 
materials, and the inventive genius of man cheapens the methods of production, we, from year 
to year, are increasing very largely the quality and quantity of our dyes and adding 
new and desirable colors to our list, and are determined they shall be in the 
future, as they have ever been in the past, the best that can be made. 

Our success and popularity have brought forth in various localities—as every successful article ever will—imitations 
which are promised to do wonders, but be not deceived ; the Handy Package Dyes are as much superior to all others as 
a gold eagle is better than a counterfeit. To make them so we consider it not necessary to stuff our packages with paper 
and adulterations to make them bulky and give the appearance of ability to color large amounts. A test of our dyes will 
ever prove their superiority and the reason why all should 

BEWARE OF IMITATIONS. 

Price, ^12.00 per Gross. 

One package of the HANDY PACKAGE INK POWDER, costing the same as the dyes, will make ONE PINT OF 

THE BEST INK IN USE.

AGREEABLE MODE OF TAKING SENNA. 


HOFFMAN’S BALSAM OF LIFE. 


Dr. Linthner says that Senna Leaves (one or two drachms 
to one or two cups of water) should be allowed to infuse all 
night in cold water. With the strained infusion coffee is 
prepared next morning, as if with water, and an aperient 
which does not taste of Senna, and does not cause griping, 
is thus produced. —Drug Circular.

ESSENCE OF BEEF, MUTTON, CHICKEN, 

Which consist solely of the finest juices from choice meats, extracted by a gentle heat, without the addition of water, or 
any substance whatever. They have been prescribed by the English Medical Profession for the past 15 years, and since 
their introduction here have earned the highest commendations. They are peculiarly adapted 

FOR INVALIDS-Natural, Pleasant, Refreshing. 

FOR INFANTS — Strictly Pure ; Prepared without Salt. 

FOR DYSPEPTICS-Easily Assimilated. 

IN CASES OF SEA SICKNESS—Afford Immediate Nourishment. 

AFTER CHILD-BIRTH —Meat Stimulant; Concentrated Form. 

They retain the fine flavor and smell of the meat. Are heavy liquids in a warm temperature, and when placed 
upon Ice take a Jelly form, which is especially refreshing to Invalids. They are retained upon the stomach, in very 
critical cases of illness, when the most carefully prepared soup is rejected. Children readily take them, and in many 
of their complaints requiring nourishment, the “Essences” are UNEQUALED.

TREATMENT IN CASES OF POISONING. 

SEND FOR A COMPETENT PHYSICIAN AT ONCE. 

GENERAL TREATMENT. 

Vomit the patient freely with warm water and mustard, 
Ipecac or salt water, then give white of eggs freely, or of 
Lard, Olive, or other bland oil, except in phosphorus poi¬ 
soning. 

If an acid has been taken give freely of Calcined 
Magnesia, chalk, or other alkali. 

If the poison has been an alkali give oil freely, and after 
vomiting neutralize with acid drinks, followed by more oil 
and second vomiting, if acids will not make poisonous 
compounds with the alkali. 

SPECIAL TREATMENT. 

For Arsenical Poisoning: Vomit with Ipecac, Solution 
of Alum or salt water. Give white of egg freely, and bil¬ 
low with weakened solution of Perchloride of Iron or 
Dialized Iron. 

If patient is very weak use hot applications, and very 
cautiously of Alcoholic stimulants. 


For Aconite , Belladomia and Digitalis: Vomiting, stim¬ 
ulants, strong coffee, Opium, and hot applications. Opium 
only under care of a physician or experienced person. 

Chloral Hydrat or Chloroform: Vomiting, stimulants, 
strong coffee, hot baths, and dropping the head lower than 
the rest of the body, to cause a flow of blood to the brain. 

Lead Poisoning: Epsom Salts in large doses, with 
Ipecac until vomiting and purging sets in. Use white of 
egg. if poison is a lead salt taken into the stomach, and 
give plenty of fresh milk. Strychnia is often found valua¬ 
ble when there is paralysis. 

Fresh milk used regularly in diet is said to prevent lead 
colic with those who work in paint or lead. 

Lye Poisoning: Give freely of oil, or warm lard and 
white of egg, and if possible cause vomiting after giving 
the oil. 

Opium or Morphia: Vomiting and white of egg. If the 
poison has been just taken give a solution of Tannin 
to prevent ready absorption of the poison. If already 
Continued on page 158 . 



We are now, and have been for some years, preparing the Oil free from stain, to be used as a Family Liniment, for human flesh, 
extracting the coloring ingredient which lias heretofore rendered it objectionable. This oil possesses all the medicinal properties of that 
prepared with the dark tinge for horses and cattle, and will be found one of the best remedies for all purposes where a liniment is required 
that has ever been manufactured. 

The Gargling Oil called “ Family Oil.” although prepared intentionally for human flesh, answers as well for beasts; vice versa, the 
dark Oil answers as well for human flesh, only it will stain and discolor the skin, but not permanently. Yellow wrapper for animal and

158 THE DRUGGISTS' READY REFERENCE. 


Treatment of Poisoning, Etc.— Cont’d. 
diffused in the system, use Tinct. Belladonna in full doses 
until the pulse quickens and the pupils of the eye begin to 
dilate, observing great caution after these signs appear. 
Strong coffee is beneficial, also electric currents and fre¬ 
quent application of cold water so as to shock the system. 
Keep the patient in motion constantly if practicable. 

Silver , Nitrate: Use moderately strong solution of com¬ 
mon salt, and after the vomiting give freely of fresh milk. 

Strychnia and its Salts: Vomiting, and if the poison 
has been recently taken use solution of Tannin, and very 
freely of white of egg. If convulsions appear use Chloro¬ 
form, Chloral Hydrat or Opium. , 

Antidotes for Strychnia: Professor Bellini, after a long 
series of experiments on poisoning by Strychnia and its 
salts, arrives at the following conclusion : That the best 
antidotes are Tannic Acid, Chlorine and the Tinctures of 
Iodine and Bromine. Chlorine attacks the Strychnia even 
after it is diffused through the system. He believes the 
arrest in the symptoms by Tannin to be due, not to chemi¬ 


cal action, but to its astringent effects *on the mucous mem¬ 
brane of the stomach, whereby the absorption of the poi¬ 
son is rendered difficult. — British Med. Journal. 

Chloroform: Death from Chloroform need never occur, 
according to the doctrine of Syme, Lister and Hughes, if 
this simple rule be observed: “Never mind the pulse, 
never mind the heart, leave the pupil to itself. Keep your 
eye on the breathing ; and if it becomes embarrassed to a 
grave extent, take an artery forceps and pull the tongue 
well out.” Syme never lost a case from Chloroforn^ 
although he gave it 5,000 times. This simple rule enabled 
him (so he thought) to make this excellent record. 

— Lancet. 

Another: Lay the patient so that his head will hang 
lower than the rest of the body, and cause a flow of blood 
to the brain.

Dr. Ward in the Medical Record calls attention to the 
great value of Labarraque’s Solution, or Liq. Chlor. Soda, 
in cases of poisoning from the Rhus Toxicodendron or 
Poison Oak : If the skin is not broken use its full strength 
several times a day, otherwise dilute the solution with five 
or six parts of water.

162 THE DRUGGISTS' READY REFERENCE. 


Diet for tlie Sick Room—Cont’d. 

•RESTORATIVE JELLY. 

Russian Isinglass....-.i ounce. 

Gum Arabic... 2 drachms. 

Sugar. 2 ounces. 

Cassia Buds, broken... .io ounces. 

Lemon Juice.....—.— i drachm. 

Pure Port Wine.—.half pint. 

Mix altogether and let them stand in glass or porcelain 
vessel about two hours, then place the dish in a vessel of 
warm water, heat gently and stir until the Isinglass and 
Gum are dissolved, and finally bring the water to a boil a 
few minutes ; then remove and strain the jelly into shallow 
molds. A small slice of this jelly placed in the mouth of 
an unconscious or helpless invalid will gradually dissolve 
and pass into the stomach without effort of the patient. 

BEEF TEA, QUICKLY MADE. 

Put any desired quantity of thoroughly lean beef, 
cut across the grain and into small pieces, in a dry 
saucepan and allow it to rest over a slow fire for a 


few minutes, stirring to keep it from sticking to the 
pan ; when of a whitish color pour on its own weight 
(pint for pound) of cold water and bring it to a boil, let it 
gently simmer ten minutes and strain under ordinary pres¬ 
sure into a shallow dish ; if any fat appears on the surface 
remove it with white filter or blotting paper. This makes 
a strong and excellent beef tea. 

TOAST WATER. 

Take one slice stale bread, half inch thick, and 
four by four inches in length and breadth, thoroughly 
toasted without scorching, put while hot into half pint 
boiling water, cover tightly and allow to cool, and then 
strain. This is quite refreshing to invalids unable to use 
stronger food. 

PANADA. 

Take two slices stale bread half inch thick, toast well 
without scorching, cut into small squares, put into a bowl, 
sprinkle a little salt over them and pour on a pint of boil¬ 
ing water, and grate in a little nutmeg.

166 THE DRUGGISTS' READY REFERENCE. 


Diet for the Sick Room— Cont’d. 

FLUID EXTRACT OF COFFEE. 

A good article may be prepared on the small scale as 
follows : 

Light-brown Coffee, roasted_ 5 ounces. 

Dark-brown “ “ ___5 “ 

Alcohol_ 3 “ 

Cold Water _ 12 “ 

Hot Water_Sufficient. 

Grind the two kinds of coffee together, and macerate 
them for two days in a closed percolator with the Alcohol 
and the cold water. Then add enough hot water to obtain 
fifteen ounces of percolate. Set this aside, and continue 
the percolation till ten ounces more have passed through. 
Evaporate this down to five ounces, filter, and add to the 
reserved liquor. Dose, two or three teaspoonsful to a cup 
of hot water. —Boston Jour, of Chem. 

BREAD POULTICE. 

Dry bread crumbs, q. s., boiling water to make a stiff 
mush of the crumbs, stirring well to remove all hard lumps, 


then stir in a half teaspoonful of Glycerin to the teacup¬ 
ful of poultice, and it is ready for use. 

SLIPPERY ELM POULTICE. 

Powdered Elm, hot water or milk, enough of each to 
make a good paste, and then add Glycerin half teaspoon¬ 
ful to cupful of poultice. 

When either of these two poultices are to be applied to 
very painful surfaces, a little Laudanum can be added to 
advantage. 

MILD MUSTARD POULTICE. 

Good ground mustard, ground flax seed, each one ounce, 
water to make a thick paste, and spread on muslin. 

STRONG MUSTARD POULTICE. 

Best ground mustard, vinegar, enough to make a paste^ 
spread on muslin. This poultice will often blister nicely. 

LINSEED POULTICE. 


Powdered flaxseed----4 ounces. 

Hot water......half pint. 


Add the seed gradually, stirring well till a soft paste is 
formed. 

Continued on page 168 . 



PURE COE LIVER OIL, 


With HYPOPHOSPHITES of LIME and SODA, 

PERFECT, PERMANENT, PALATABLE. 

The high character and wide reputation “ Scott’s Emulsion ” has attained through the agency of the Medical Profession, and the hearty 
co-operation of Druggists in every section of the country in introducing and developing its sale to its present proportion is the best possible 
guarantee of its virtues, and fully sustains the claims we make for it. 

First .—It is a perfect Emulsion, there being a compatibility of all its parts. 

Second .—It is absolutely permanent, not separating or becoming rancid in any climate. 

Third .—It is so palatable that the most delicate stomach can retain it. 

Fourth.—It affords a good profit to the Druggist, and when it is once recommended a demand is sure to be made for it. 

We would respectfully ask those who have never sold it to procure a small quantity, and they are sure to make a sale for it. 

The retail price is $1.00 per bottle. Price per dozen, $7.50. 

For sale by MORRISSON, PLUMMER Sl CO., and all Wholesale Druggists. 


SCOTT & BOWNE’S 

PALATABLE CASTOR OIL 

IN AN EMULSION. 

This preparation is also prepared with the greatest care, and is being approved and prescribed by the profession largely. We have 
succeeded in disguising the nauseous taste of the oil so perfectly that it is as palatable almost as milk, and absolutely permanent. 

Although we have recently commenced its introduction, yet it is acquiring a popularity and sale beyond our most sanguine expecta¬ 
tions. and we believe the time will come when it will take the piace almost entirely of Castor Oil in its crude, disagreeable state 

We are pushing it vigorously, and expect to supply nearly all the physicians in the iSta es with samples during the Fall and coming 
Winter It is put up in 4-oz. bottles that retail at 25 cents; and in quarts to dispense as physicians prescribe. 

Price, per dozen, small, 4-oz., $1.75. Price, per dozen, quarts, $9.00 

For Sale by MORRISSON, PLUMMER & CO., and all Wholesale Druggists.

PRESERVATION OF THE EYES. 

The late Dr. W. H. Hall, in an article on taking care of 
the eyes said : 

Avoid all sudden change between light and darkness. 

Never begin to read, or write, or sew for several minutes 
after coming from darkness to a bright light. 

Never read by twilight, or moonlight, or of a cloudy day. 

Never tread or sew directly in front of the light from 
window or door. 


It is best to have the light fall from above, obliquely over 
the left shoulder. 

Never sleep so that, on the first waking the eyes shall 
open on the light of a window. 

Do not use the eyesight by light so scant that it requires 
an effort to discriminate. 

Too much light creates a glare, and pains and confuses 
the sight. The moment you are sensible of an effort to dis¬ 
tinguish, that moment cease and take a walk or ride. 

As the sky is blue and the earth green, it would seem that 
the ceiling should be of a bluish tinge, and the carpet green, 
and the walls of some mellow tint. 

The moment you are prompted to rub the eyes, that 
moment cease using them. — Farm , Field and Fireside. 

TO PREVEW SNEEZING. 

Press the finger heavily on the upper lip.

TO CALCIMINE. 

A great deal depends on the condition of the 
walls. If they are smoked, they should be thorough¬ 
ly washed. If they are spongy, or very dry, and 
soak up too freely, they should be coated with a 
size made of glue and common soft soap. 

Take Gilders’ Whiting or Paris White, or about 
equal parts of each, and soak it in water; put in a 
trifle of Ultramarine Blue to give it a blue tint. 

Dissolve good white glue in water in the pro¬ 
portion of one-fourth pound glue to a common pail 
of calcimine. 

Mix the whiting and glue together and thin 
with cold water to about the consistency of paste. 

Strain the mixture through a sieve; lay it on 
the Avail crossways, viz: making the strokes Avith 
your brush to cross each other. 

- -*--#- 

OIL FOR OILING FLOORS. 

Mix 4 quarts Raw Linseed Oil, 2 quarts Spirits 
Turpentine, 1 pint best Coach Japan. 


TO PRESERVE PAINT BRUSHES 

WHEN NOT IN USE. 

Cleanse them thoroughly and suspend them in 
water. 

Varnish brushes should always be kept in raAV 
linseed oil when not in use. 


TO PROPERLY PAINT INSIDE WALLS. 

First Coat. —The paint should be mixed quite 
thin Avith linseed oil. 

Second Coat.— A trifle thicker, with three parts 
oil and one part turpentine. 

Third Coat. —Thin glue size, made of about 
three ounces good glue in one gallon of water. 

Fourth Coat.— Paint thinned Avith equal parts 
oil and turpentine.

170 THE DRUGGISTS' READY REFERENCE. 


All use of stimulants must be avoided by will power, 
until the appetite is checked, which will be generally 
within two days, so that there will cease to be any craving. 
Avoid meat diet and live on farinaceous food while using 
the cure. 

In destroying the appetite for liquor the cure simply 
puts the person in the condition he was in before contract¬ 
ing the habit, and any return to it for social or medicinal 
reasons endangers the return of the craving, perhaps more 
rapidly than at first. 


CURE FOR THE OPIUM HABIT. 

One teaspoonful of the Cure for Drunkenness every two 
hours for the first week, and every four or six hours after¬ 
wards until the craving has entirely disappeared. 


John B. Gough, being asked whether Alcohol was food 
or medicine, replied that its use either way was rather like 
sitting on a hornet’s nest, stimulating but not nourishing.

THE DRUGGISTS' READY REFERENCE. 


Drunkenness— Cont’d. 

Persons exposed to contagious diseases should avoid the 
use of all Alcoholic drinks, because Alcohol vitiates the 
blood, and destroys in a degree its resisting power. 


Alcoholic drinks are dangerous to persons during ex¬ 
tremely hot weather, as they increase the tendency to sun¬ 
stroke. 


Yellow fever, cholera, and small pox, alarm every com¬ 
munity endangered by them, and no cost or labor is deemed 
too great to escape their ravages. 

Why is it that the same communities will deliberately 
license whisky selling as a beverage and allow the estab¬ 
lishment of saloons for its sale when they know that it 
causes more deaths every year, and in more horrible lorms 
than any one or all of these diseases combined ? 


Dr. Bock, of Leipsic, says : “ Beer is brutalizing, wine 
impassions, whisky infuriates but ultimately unmans. 


Alcoholic drinks combined with flesh and fat diet totally 
subjugate the moral nature unless their influence be coun¬ 
teracted by violent exercise.” 


The Alcoholic habit, when not thoroughly established, 
may be often cured by living mainly on farinaceous and veg¬ 
etable diet, avoiding meat and spices until cured. 


SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION. 

Dr. Atkinson, in the course of an article on “ The Treat¬ 
ment of Alcoholism,” in the Practitioner for January, says : 
“To show to what extent Alcohol may be present in the 
blood, I may mention I have known it to burst into flame 
on a light being applied to a cut head, and Professor 
Ogston, of Aberdeen, has told me he has been able to set it 
alight when he has cut open the bladder of a man who has 
died in a fit of Alcoholism.”

Spontaneous Combustion—Cont’d. 

Oily rags, greasy sawdust and other sweepings, if allowed 

to lie in a pile or close body, will heat and often ignite. 

This has doubtless been the cause of many fires whose 

origin seemed mysterious. 

A small hole or opening in a floor over a hot stove or 
furnace, admitting a constant draught of dry, heated air, 
even if much below the usual igniting temperature, will 
often result in charred edges, absorption of oxygen and 
finally a blaze, and another mysterious fire. 


A blister in a window pane or a glass bowl with water in 
it may act as a lens or sun glass, and concentrate the sun’s 
rays enough to cause a blaze, but as this can only occur 
during daylight few fires are likely to result, owing to early 
detection.

FIREPROOF PAINT FOR WOODWORK. 

Owing to the fact that waterglass is gradually dissolved 
out of the wood, while Chloride of Zinc is volatile at the 
temperature where wood ignites, the author F. Sie- 
burger, proposes the following : Two coats of a hot sat¬ 
urated solution of 3 parts Alum and 1 part Ferrous Sul¬ 
phate are first applied and allowed to dry. A third coat 
is a dilute solution of Ferrous Sulphate, into which 
White Potter’s Clay is stirred until it has the consist¬ 
ency of good water colors. Another method is to apply 
hot Glue water as long as it is absorbed into the 
pores of the wood. A £thick coat of boiled Glue is then 
applied, and, while fresh, is dusted over with a powder 
composed of 1 part Sulphur, 1 part Ochre of Clap, and 6 
parts Ferrous Sulphate. 


TO PREVENT THE CRACKING OF WOOD BY IMPREG¬ 
NATING IT WITH PARAFFIN. 

Wooden stop cocks and other objects of wood are liable 
to crack ; to prevent this lay them in a bath of Fused Paraffin

To Prevent, Etc.— Cont’d. 

heated to 212° F., and leave them as long as bubbles of air 
are given off. Then allow the Paraffin to cool down to its 
point of congelation, and remove the wood and wipe off the 
adhering wax. Objects treated in this way are not likely 
to crack. The process could be used advantageously for 
inlaid woods and fine furniture. 


TO CLEAN A HAIR BRUSH. 

Put a tablespoonful of each powder from Mme. Row¬ 
land’s Bath Packet in a pint of water and wash the brush in 
it ; it will very quickly make the brush clean as new. This 
is also excellent for cleansing or shampooing the hair. 

ANOTHER METHOD EQUALLY GOOD. 

Put a teaspoonful or dessertspoonful of Aqua Ammonia 
into a basin half full of water, comb the loose hairs out of 
the brush and then agitate the water briskly with the brush 
and rinse it well with clear water. 


REMEDIES FOR BURNS AND SCALDS. 

Dr. Breyne in L’union Pharmae., June, 1873, recommends 
Glycerite of Lime, as soothing the pain and lessening the 
inflammation of burns. It is made as follows : 

Freshly slaked lime.--- 1 part. 

Glycerine... 5 ° parts. 

Hydrochloric Ether....1 part. 

Rub the lime with a small portion of the Glycerine into a 
smooth cream, then add the remaining Glycerine and Ether, 
and thoroughly mix. 


Lime water and pure Olive or Linseed Oils, equal parts ; 
shake thoroughly to form a uniform and rather thin or 
liquid salve. Apply freely to the burns or scalds, and bind 
the wounds in rags saturated with it. 


Lime water is made by pouring a gallon of water on a 
pound of unslacked lime, and after standing 12 hours 
decant or filter, and preserve for use when needed. 



Ceraline, 

IS A HEAVY OLEAGINOUS HYDRO-CARBON, 

OF THE CONSISTENCY OF LARD, 

AND COLOR OF LIGHT BEESWAX; 

It unites readily with SULPHUR, IODINE, BROMINE, CAMPHOR, 
GUMS, RESINS, and CARBOLIC AND TANNIC ACIDS, 


And forms an excellent base for 


ALL HEALING SALVES OR OINTMENTS 


It is better for this purpose than LARD, TALLOW or OLIVE OLL, as it never decomposes 

OR BECOMES RANCID, but on the contrary 

POSSESSES GREAT ANTISEPTIC QUALITIES. 

Equal in all respects to Vaseline or Cosmoline, it is cheaper than either.

VARNISHES. 


*79 



Owing to the fact that it is difficult, even for those who are constantly handling Varnishes, to discover the differ¬ 
ence between good or poor qualities until tested by use, we some years since adopted the rule of buying only of 
manufacturers whose standing for integrity and honest dealing would be a full guarantee that the standard of their 
Varnishes was as represented. This course has prevented our competing in prices with the poorer grades of these 
goods, but has allowed us to escape almost altogether, the unpleasant complaints that attend the use of low 
grade Varnishes ; and the very few exceptions to this rule have rested on other grounds than that of quality. With 
this experience in the past three years, with the excellent Varnishes made by 

BERRY BROS., OF DETROIT, 

we continue to sell them as the standard, for their grades and uses, and quote as below. 

Our present figures, while higher, considerably, than last year, are still very low, in view of the fact that Gums 
have advanced more than ioo per cent, in cost, Linseed Oil from 50c to 75c gal., and Spts. Turpentine from 30c 
to 45c gal. If these decline in value to any appreciable extent, Varnishes will follow in due proportion, and our cus¬ 
tomers may rely on getting at all times satisfactory Varnishes at the lowest market figures at the time of ordering.

Balsam or Oil Bottles, English— The ad¬ 
vantage of these bottles is 
apparent from the fact that 
any overflowing liquid is 
caught in a cup which emp¬ 
ties into the bottle, and 
thus saves the contents and 
keeps the bottle clean.

Heat to 2io° Fah., and stir until cool. No. 2. Tallow, 
8 lbs., Palm Oil, 10 lbs., Plumbago, 1 lb., makes a good 
lubricator for wagon axles. 

ARTIFICIAL STONE. 

Is made by mixing Sand with a concentrated solution of 
Silicate of Soda. The pasty mass is thus formed and 
placed in a mold of the desired shape. It is then dried ; 
but it is still as brittle as biscuit. It is then saturated with 
a solution of Chloride of Calcium ; in about an hour the 
chemical change takes place, and the whole mass becomes 
as hard as stone. Finally it is washed and dried.— S. Piesse. 


The Frigid Soda Apparatus. 





The Frigid Soda and Mineral Water Apparatus, bj long experience and 
the strongest working tests, lias proved itself the best dispensing apparatus adapted to 
a large business and successful trade. All apparatus manufactured by us are fitted with 
our Patent Solid Block Tin Cooler, made wet and dry, from which the purest and 
coldest of beverages are drawn ; all our couplings and connections are made of 
Block Tin, thus preventing any possibility of contamination, and rendering the 
machine more durable. 

Special attention is called to the advantages of our MINERAL. ARC. Nothing 
has ever been offered the trade, that so fully answers the purpose for which it is 
intended, as this novel and beautiful device. The great demand for it, and the expres¬ 
sions of admiration from all sections of the country are ample evidence of its value to 
the dealer. It is adapted to all classes of trade where beverages of any description are 
dispensed, being equally desirable for Soda, Mineral Water, Beer, etc. Its great supe¬ 
riority on account of its fine display combined with the limited space it occupies on the 
counter, in comparison with all other apparatus, can not be overestimated. 

We introduce this season a Steel Soda Fountain, constructed on a new and im¬ 
proved principle, greatly increasing the strength of former makes. 

Iron Generators from new and improved patterns. 

Our new styles of Counter Apparatus, introduced this season, are of the 
most beautiful character, and introduce attractions never before incorporated in soda 
apparatus of any description; 

To all parties contemplating making any change in their apparatus, our Illustrated 
Catalogue, containing full particulars, will be sent free on application.

New Style. Three Colors. 



Content., Fluid Oz , or M Liter. 


We are prepared to furnish sets of bottles, I 
and 4 oz. Tinctures and i and 4 oz. Salt Mouths, 
bearing in raised letters of ground glass, the 
names of articles mostly used at the prescrip¬ 
tion case. The advantages of this series are : 

I. The labels are blown in the glass and are 
as indestructible as the bottle itself. Heat or 
washing will not affect them. 

II. The surface of the letter is ground so as 
to easily impress the eye. 

III. The lips of the Tincture Bottles are 
wide, and specially constructed for dropping. 

IV. The mouths of the Saltmouths are of 
extra width, almost even with the side of the 
bottle, and they are covered from the dust by a 
Hood Stopper, with top larger than lip of bottle, 
so as to be easily grasped. 

V. The stoppering of both Tinctures and 
Saltmouths is done with especial care, and tested 
before packing. 

VI. Amber bottles are furnished for articles 
affected by light. 

VII. Poisons are in dark blue bottles, with 
raised diamonds around the name, thus, both by 
sight and touch, guarding against accident.

EFFERVESCING GINGER POWDER. 


Effervescing: Carb. of Iron— Cont’d. 

then join the two mixtures and thoroughly unite, using a 
sieve for the purpose; put into an open vessel over a water 
bath, heat and stir until well granulated. Keep in well 
stoppered bottles. A teaspoonful represents 4 grains of 
Proto Carbonate of Iron and should be taken in a half glass 
of water while effervescing.— Parrish. 


EFFERVESCING LEMONADE. 

Bi-Carb. Potash. ..]/ 2 drachm. 

Sugar. 2 

Ess. Lemon_ 10 drops, 

Citric Acid Cryst. 2 scruples. 

Water.......To fill bottle. 

Nearly fill a strong mineral water bottle with water. Put 
in the Potash, Sugar and Lemon, shake up well, add the 
Citric Acid and cork immediately and place in a cool place 
upside down until needed for use. 


Powdered Ginger_ 2 drachms. 

Bi-Carbonate of Soda.10 

White Sugar.... 4 ounces. 

Essence of Lemon...10 drops. 

Make into 12 powders which fold into Blue Papers ; each 
of which is to be accompanied by a White Paper containing 
30 grains of Tartaric Acid, and they are to be prepared for 
use the same as Seidlitz Powders. 


TO PREPARE QUININE PILLS QUICKLY. 

Add to the Quinine one-fifth as much Tartaric Acid and 
mix thoroughly, then add two or three drops of Syrup, and 
the powder will immediately form a good pill mass. 

Another : 

Add to the Quinine a few drops of Aromatic Sulph. Acid 
and rub up with a bone spatula. This makes a small pill 
for the amount of Quinine used, and dissolves quickly in 
the stomach.

PRICE OP

With Single Bulb, per set. 3 00 

Tubes only, each. 2 00 

Atomizers, as heretofore made, are liable to obstruct, from sedi¬ 
ment and other foreign substances, which frequently renders the 
tube worthless, and is always a source of trouble, as the points 
are so delicate the least imperfection stops their working. 

The points of the Tubes are provided with a screw thread and 
may be removed in case of obstructions, and easily cleaned. There 
is ho drop formed at the point, as is the case with Atomizing Tubes 
generally. 

These Atomizing Tubes have been in use by the medical profes¬ 
sion for the last six years, giving satisfaction in every instance, 
and are now ottered to the public as the most perfect instrument 
for the atomizing of liquids in the market. 



Tubes as shown in Fig. 2, each. $2 50 

Double Bulbs, per set.. 2 50 

Single Bulbs,each. 1 00 

Figure 1 represents the complete apparatus for Local Anaes¬ 
thesia, Nostrils, etc. 

Atomizing Tubes are made in.a variety of forms and material, 
the prices varying from $1.00 to $18.00 each. The higher priced 
ones are made of platinum. 

c. Figure 2, represents the Tube for throwing the spray down¬ 
ward into the Larynx; b. for throwing the spray upward into the 
Posterior Nares; a. for Eye, inhaling, etc.

OILING HARNESS. 

A. correspondent of the Prairie Farmer gives the follow¬ 
ing good practical directions for oiling harness : “ Harness 
should never be used over six months without oiling. I 
take the harness apart or unbuckle it as much as con¬ 
venient, and put it into the soap suds of the last washing, 
giving it a good soaking ; then take it out upon a bench of 
convenient heighth, and remove all the dirt or gummy sub¬ 
stance with the assistance of a stiff brush and the soap suds. 
I then find it a good time to make the necessary repairs. 
By this time the water has dried from the surface, and I 
then apply the oil and a little lampblack mixed, with a com¬ 
mon paint brush, and dry in the shade. If frozen all the 
better ; when dry, wipe off with a cloth and put together. 

It is my opinion, founded on a practical experience of 
forty years, that harness treated in this manner will last 
twice as long as without proper oiling. Ammoniacal fumes

RECIPES FOR COLORED FIRES. 

In making colored fires it is necessary to remark that the 
materials are to be powdered separately , in a mortar, and 
finally mixed with the hand or a card. Each material that 
is employed must be perfectly dry. As all colored fires are 
liable to spontaneous combustion, do not make them far 
ahead in stock.

the vials, instead of leather loops, as in the old style. 

The Springs are covered with leather, thus presenting a soft sur¬ 
face to the vial,—the cases are made of light wood, covered with 
Morocco, and finished in the best manner. 

Among tlie advantages which these cases present over the old 
style, may be mentioned the following : 

First. Much greater durability. 

Second. The Metallic Springs will not get loose as the leather 
loops do, but will continue to hold the vials firmly in their places 
while the elasticity of the springs allows the vials to be easily re¬ 
moved and replaced. 

Third. The Springs, extending only two-thirds the circum¬ 
ference of the vial, leave one-third exposed the entire length, thus 
allowing the label to be placed longitudinally on the vial, which, as 
it lies uppermost can be more easily read than when extending 
round, and is less liable to be defaced.

Aqua Ammonia 4 f. 


each 


1 pint. 

2 ounces. 


Mix. Put three or four tablespoonsful to one pint of soft 
soap or one pound of hard soap. The clothes should be in 
soak over night if possible before using this mixture, but if 
soaked an hour or two it will aid much. 


WASHING FLUID FOR FINE LINEN, LACES, ETC. 

Borax.....4 ounces. 

Water .....5 gallons. 

For crinoline or any stiff fabric increase the quantity of 
Borax to six ounces. 


TROUBLESOME INSECTS. 

School children and others exposed to head vermin 
should have their hair well oiled or pomatumed, as this is 
said to render it uninhabitable. 


A HOME FOR BUGS. 

Surgeon-Major G. K. Poole writes to the British Medical 
Journal: “ The best remedy for bugs in hospitals is a bug 
trap, made by boring a series of holes in a piece of soft 
wood with a gimlet, and placing this under the mattress of 
each cot. The piece of wood is to be put periodically into 
a basin of boiling water. This is an Indian hospital plan. 


TO GET RID OF FLEAS 

in a bed. Put a piece of new flannel between the sheets 
and they will leave the person and gather in the cloth 
which may then be folded and put in boiling water.

into all inhabited crevices. 


BED BUG POISON.—No. 2 . 

Corrosive Sublimate....]/ 2 ounce. 

Alcohol....1 pint. 

Soluble Blue or Blue Aniline...10 grains.

Finest Carmine...“ 

RoseWater.....1 pint. 

Esprit de Rose, triple...]/ 2 ounce. 


Place the Carmine in a pint bottle, and pour on it the 


Ammonia. Allow them to remain together with occasional 
agitation for two days; then add the Rose Water and 
Esprit, and well mix. Place the bottle in a quiet situa¬ 
tion for a week, when any precipitate from impurities in the 
Carmine will subside. The supernatant “Bloom of Roses” 
is then to be bottled for sale. 

SYMPATHETIC BLUSH OF SCHNONDA.— (Piesse.) 

This article has been recently introduced into perfumery 
under the euphonious name of Schnoiida. In a chemical 
sense it possesses great interest on account of its peculiar 
qualities. 

The coloring principle of this Blush is known by chemi¬ 
cal philosophers under the name of Alloxan , and was dis¬ 
covered by Liebig. Alloxan is white and is soluble in 
water; being mixed with a greasy body after the manner 
of cold cream, a white cream results. On exposure to the 
air, after rubbing it on the cheeks or lips, it gradually turns 
to a deep rose color, from the oxydizing influence of the 
atmosphere. Used judiciously it creates the most perfect 
delusion perpetrated by the toilet of fashion. 


HENRY F. MILLER, 

MANUFACTURER OF 

Druggists’ Seamless Tinware, 

BALTIMORE, MD. 

We respectfully call your attention to the Seamless Tin Boxes, which we make a specialty of manufacturing for Druggists. 

For the last five years ours lias been the only Factory in tlie United States, where a full and complete line of these 
Boxes has heen made, running: from 1 dram to 2K ounce box, for Fills and Ointments, and an oblong: box for 
Powders and L,ozeng:es. 

We have drawn the boxes as deep as they could possibly be drawn for the diameter. In order to accomplish this, we select the very 
best and finest tin in the market, and thus it is that we can offer you the nicest and neatest tin boxes in the country. 



No. 5. 7 . 

We need not say, that Seamless Tin Boxes are far superior to any Seamed Tin Boxes or Turned Wood Boxes, 
or Wooden Boxes in general. There no leak age and no objectionable solder, and the difference in the price, if 
any, is very little, so .that the Seamless Tin Boxes oug:ht to be used instead'of any other. 

They are now being used in most of the cities, from Portland. Me., to San Francisco, Cal., and thus it is we can offer a cheaper and better 
box than any one else. Samples of our Boxes can be seen at most of the Wholesale Druggists In the principal cities. Write to us by a 
Postal and we will forward price list at lowest current rates. p nure w us * 

The Cuts shown are the actual sizes of Nos. 5 and 7. or 1 and 2 oz. boxes. 

We are also manufacturing a full line of Blacking: Boxes, from Nos. 1 to 6 , standard sizes. Address,

Place the Wax and Sperm, in a well- 


glazed, thick porcelain vessel, deep and capable of holding 
double the amount of cream that is to be made ; put the jar 
into a boiling bath of water, and when the materials are 
melted, add the Oil, and again subject the whole to heat 
until the flocks of Wax and Sperm, are liquefied ; then 
remove the jar and set it under a runner containing the 
Rose Water, which may be a tin can with a small tap at 
the bottom. A stirrer must be provided made of some 
inodorous wood, flat and perforated with holes, the size of 
a nutmeg, resembling in form a large palette knife. As 
soon as the Rose Water is set running, the cream must be 
kept agitated until the whole of the water has passed into 
it. Now and then the water should be stopped and the 
hardening cream at the sides of the jar scraped down and 
thoroughly incorporated in that which remains fluid. In 
Winter it is necessary to slightly warm the Rose Water, 
otherwise the cream gets set before it has been beaten 
enough. When the whole of the water is added it will be 
cool enough to add the Otto of Rose ; stir well and pour it 
into pots for sale.

Just \\ t HAT Y OU W ANT, 

During the past few years I have given a large share of my attention to the introduction ot 



which will not turn rancid, or the label or foil become soiled, thereby supplying a want long felt by Druggists, who 
have sustained losses by their becoming soiled and unsalable. Your attention is respectfully called to the following 
letters from Wholesale and Retail Druggists: 

From Mr. C. N. CRITTENTON, 7 Sixth Avenue, New York.? 

During the time I have dealt in your Cosmetiques I have sold five hundred (500) gross, and have yet to 

learn of a Case where they have not given entire satisfaction, or where they have turned rancid. I therefore 

cheerfully recommend them to all Druggists as articles on which they can rely. 

From GASSIN BROTHERS, 17 1 Bleecker Street, New York.I 

We have retailed more than two hundred dozen of your Cosmetiques, and have never known them to become 
rancid or the label or foil to soil. 

From Messrs. PATTERSON & PURDY, 158 William Street, New York. 

We have sold over one hundred gross of your Cosmetiques, and take pleasure in stating that they have in 

every respect proved satisfactory to our Customers, nor have we had any returned in a rancid or soiled condi¬ 

tion, nor any complaint whatever from them. 

From Mr. G. H. WHEELER, I 12 Cherry Street, New York.i 

I have sold over one hundred gross of your Cosmetiques, and have never known or heard of one becoming 
rancid or the label Soiled. 


THOMPSON’S TOOTH SOAP 

was introduced in 1849, and has by its merit commanded a large and steady sale. It is put up in neat portable boxes, 
retailing at Twenty-five Cents. 

The above goods are neatly labeled, making attractive articles which sell at sight.

The Mordant —Sulphuret of Potassium..1 ounce.

The Mordant is to be applied to the hair first; when 
this is dry, then the Silver solution. 


PENCIL WATER, AND WALNUT WATER.— (Piesse.) 

Under the above names a weak hair-dye is made which 
consists of an Alkaline solution of Lead, or rather Plum- 
bate of Potash. It is slow in its action, but does not 
blacken the skin, which is- a great advantage. It is pre¬ 
pared by dissolving in one ounce of Liquor Potassa, as 
much freshly precipitated Oxide of Lead as it will take up, 
and dilute the resulting clear solution with three ounces 
distilled water. 


BANDOLINE. 

Take of Gum Tragacanth (choice), 6 oz., Rose Water, 
1 gallon, Otto of Rose, ]/ 2 oz. Steep the Gum in the water, 
agitating from time to time as it swells into a gelatinous 
mass; then carefully press through a coarse, clean, linen 
cloth, and incorporate the Otto of Rose thoroughly through 
the soft mass.

THE DRUGGISTS' READY REFERENCE. 


WAXED PAPER. 

A useful article for covering gallipots and the corks of 
bottles may be made by placing sheets of stout wove writ¬ 
ing paper on a hot slab of stone or metal, and rubbing 
evenly over the surface a piece of white wax. 


WATERPROOF PAPER. 

Dissolve 8 ounces of Alum and 3^ ounces of Castile 
Soap in 4 pints of water ; and 2 ounces of Gum Arabic and 
4 ounces of Glue, separately in 4 pints water; mix the solu¬ 
tion, heat slightly, dip in the single sheets, which suspend 
until dry. 


TRANSPARENT PAPER. 

Paper can be made as transparent as glass, and capable 
of being substituted for it for many purposes, by spreading 
over it with a feather, a very thin layer of resin dissolved in 
spirits of wine. Fine, thin Post paper is best, and the mix¬ 
ture must be applied on both sides. 


WATER-PROOF PACKING PAPER. 

The following is a German recipe: Dissolve 680.4 
grammes (about 1.82 lb.) of white soap in a quart of water, 
dissolve 1.82 ounces Troy of Gum Arabic, and 5.5 ounces 
Glue. Mix the two solutions, warm them, and soak the 
paper in the liquid. Pass it between rollers, or simply 
hang it up to drip, and then only at a gentle temperature.— 
your. Franklin Inst. 


TO MAKE CLOTH, PAPER, ETC., FIREPROOF. 

Several preparations for rendering textile and other in¬ 
flammable fabrics incombustible and practically fireproof 
have been brought out by Mm. Martin and Tessier, of Paris. 
The compositions are to be of an inexpensive nature, 
and capable of rendering incombustible all kinds of readily 
inflammable substances, such as woven and other fabrics of 
cotton and other fibrous materials, paper, printed or other- 
wise, including bills of exchange and other securities, 
woodwork, theatrical scenery, straw, etc. The first com-

MORRISSON, PLUMMER & CO. 


( GEYERS ) _ 


Supplies a Want 
long felt by Phy¬ 
sicians, Nurses, 
and Mothers, for 
a Nursing Appa¬ 
ratus or Shield, 
to be used in 
cases of sore or 
retracted Nip¬ 
ples. 

Its peculiar 
construction ob¬ 
viates the diffi¬ 
culties usually experienced in the use of artificial appli¬ 
ances for nursing, and insures ease, rest and comfort to 
both mother and child. 



A single trial will demonstrate its superiority over any 
other appliance for this purpose. 


Dr. H. W. Hull, of East Boston, writes us; 

“A patient of mine was troubled with Extremely Sore 
Nipples , so much so that when the child nursed, its mouth 
would be filled more or less with blood, causing the mother 
great suffering. She used one of your Nipple Shields with 
the best results, as the child nursed without the least 
trouble, and the mother was relieved from all pain. * 
* * * It is decidedly the best article of its kind with 

which I am acquainted. 

Manufactured by ANDREW GEYER, 

Sold by Druggists generally. East Cambridge, Mass, 


We ask the attention of Physicians, Druggists, and 
Nurses to this article, feeling confident that its peculiar 
constiuction will commend it to their favorable considera¬ 
tion. 

N.B. We specially commend this Shield to our friends,

It is simply necessary to steep the fabrics in a hot solu¬

ciently to enable them to be ironed or pressed like ordinary 
starched goods. 

A second composition, to be used for theatrical scenery 
(or the mounted but unpainted canvas to be used for this 
purpose), and also for woodwork, furniture, door and win¬

MANUFACTURERS OF 



CINCINNATI, OHIO. 


Our new I. X. L. Combination Syringe Is a combination of the Davidson style, double-neck bulb syringe and the Fountain Syringe. 
(See cut of No. 6.) 

The extra joint of tubing thus fastened to any firm object will permit the suction end of said tube to be dropped into any vessel con¬ 
venient, thereby rendering superfluous the cumbersome bag now in use. By a few pressures of the bulb a free now is secured, whereas a 
few extra pressures will always increase the flow for 1 lie time being. 

The half-cock attached to this Svringe (see cut) is intended to turn off the flow of water at once, or gradually, thereby enabling one to 
flow the bowels or bladder at will (the latter by attaching a catheter to the nozzle). 

In turning off the flow, the water thus injected can escape through the waste hole in the half-cock, without withdrawing the Syringe. 



No. 6. 

No. 6. T. X. L. Combination Syringe consists of Retaining Vessel, Dilating Nozzle, Two other Nozzles, Catarrh Nozzle. Suction Tube 
Holder and Half-Cock, with No. 1 Rubber, cloth covered oval-shaped box. 

We would call special attention to our Lignolium Syringes Nos. 1 and 2 , which are, no doubt,destined to supersede manv other syringes 
now In use. The nozzles are made out of a material similar to black bard rubber, are non conductors, and finely finished. 

Trice is very much below any similar Syringe. Samples will be sent C. O. D. on application. See price list in Catalogue.

The solution is to be placed in a vat heated to 50° C 
(122 0 F.) at the end of the paper-making machine, and the 
paper as it leaves the machine is passed through the solu¬ 
tion in this vat, so as to be completely impregnated there¬ 
with, after which it is dried upon a warm cylinder, and 
then wound on a reel. If the paper be in sheets, or printed 
it is simply immersed iu the above solution, heated to 50° 
C., spread out to dry. and afterwards pressed to restore the 
glaze destroyed by the moisture. The above compositions 
are said to insure a degree of incombustibility without pre¬ 
cedent as regards preservation of the materials to which 
they are applied. The proportions of the several ingredi¬ 
ents are given as examples only, and may be varied as 
found necessary in practice. — Scient. Amer.

sufficiently long to give me a very high appreciation of their compactness, lightness and convenience of arrangement.

of a thinnish paste, and which should be neutral or nearly 
so), X ounce. Place the Galls, when bruised, with the 
Cloves in a fifty-ounce bottle, pour upon them the water, 
and digest, shaking often, daily, for a fortnight. Then 
filter through paper into another fifty-ounce bottle. Get 
out also the refuse of the Galls, and wring out of it the 
remaining liquor through strong, clean linen or cotton 
cloth into the filter, in order that as little as possible be 
lost. Next, put in the Iron, dissolve completely, and filter 
through paper ; then add the Acid, and agitate briskly; lastly 
the Indigo, and thoroughly mix by shaking. Pass the whole 
through paper by filtering out of one bottle into the other 
till the operation has been completed. On a large scale 
this ink may be made by percolation. The weights used 
are avoirdupois, and the measures used are Apothecaries’ 
measures. 

Note —No Gum or Sugar is proper, and on^no account 
must the Acid be omitted.

A REMARKABLE SOLVENT. 

11 is now discovered, it appears, that if a piece of copper be 
dissolved in Ammonia, a solvent will be obtained, not only 
for lignine, the most important principle of all woody fibre— 
such as cotton, flax, paper, etc.—but also for substances de¬ 
rived from the animal kingdom, such as wool and silk. By

THE DRUGGISTS' READY REFERENCE. 


A Remarkable Solvent— Con t’d. 

the solution of any oi these an excellent and waterproof 
cement is said to be formed ; and, what is equally import¬ 
ant, if cotton fabrics be saturated with the solution of wool, 
they will be enabled to take the dye — such as the lac dye 
and Cochineal hitherto suited to woolen goods only. Hy- 
driodide of Ammonia, we may also observe, was not long 
since discovered to be an equally remarkable solvent of the 
most refractory, or at least, insoluble, mineral substances. 
It is an interesting circumstance that Ammonia, accord¬ 
ing to Van Helmonta and other old chemists and alchemists, 
was one of the requisite materials in the formation of the 
“alkahest," or “universal solvent," of the ancient sages.— 
Weed's Year Book of Pharmacy. 


CLARIFYING WATER. 

Two grains of Alum to a pint will clarify water that is 
not fit to drink, render it perfectly clear and pure, and the 
taste of Alum will not be perceived. 


A little pulverized Alum thrown into a pail of water and 
allowed to stand for fifteen or twenty minutes, will precipi¬ 
tate all the impurities and leave it perfectly clear.— Weed’s 
Year Book of Pharmacy. 


PRESERVING INSECTS. 

The American Naturalist says : That after killing the 
insect with Chloroform, paint it with a solution of Carbolic 
Acid in Alcohol—four grains to the ounce—and then dry it 
in the sun. It keeps fresh and beautiful. In stuffing ani¬ 
mals, use cotton soaked in the same solution; 


PRESERVATION OF LEECHES. 

The importance of preserving in health and vigor this 
useful little animal, has induced me to give you a plan 
which I have pursued for years with unequivocal success. 
I place the leeches in an earthenware vessel, half filling it 
with river, or where that can not be had, rain water ; into

As will be seen by the cut they are of a decidedly novel design, and rather striking 
in general appearance. They are of the style of Mugs styled '‘Combination.” 

The Mug is divided into two sections by a partition extending from the bottom to 
the top of the Mug. The front section has soap in it, and is intended as a LATHER 
DISH, the back one as a WATER HOLDER. The top of the partition is hollowed 
out, thereby forming a convenient edge by which to relieve the brush of superfluous 
water or soap, and also forming in connection with the elevations seen at the back 
part, a convenient “ cradle ” on which to “ hang up ” the brush.

282 THE DRUGGISTS’ READY REFERENCE. 


Preservation of Leeches— Cont’d. 

this I place a handful of well-washed tow. I renew the 
water about twice or three times a week in Summer and once 
in Winter, each time washing the sides of the vessel, and, 
taking the tow, washing it out well under the water tap, in 
order to rid it of the epidermis which the leech appears to 
throw off every few days, and renewing the tow occasionally. 
By this very simple means I keep leeches far better than by 
any other. I can endorse Dr. Frodsham’s recommendation 
to place the leeches in camphor mixture after having been 
used for hospitals and dispensaries ; it would prove a great 
saving.— Notes and Queries , Drug Circular. 


GOLD FISH. 

Some of our friends having globes or aquariums may, 
perhaps, be glad to know a few rules whereby Gold Fish may 
be kept for ten or twelve years, l. Allow not more than 
one fish to a quart of water. 2. Use the same kind of wa¬ 
ter, whether spring or river, change daily in Summer, every 
other day in Winter. 3. Use deep rather than shallow vessels, 1 


with small, clean pebbles at the bottom. 4 Keep them in 
the shade in the cool part of the room. 5. Use a small net 
in handling the fish, rather than the hand, when changing 
the water, or a syphon may be used to advantage. 6. Feed 
the fish cracker, yolk of egg, lettuce, flies, etc. 7. Do not 
feed them with bread. 8. Feed them only every third or 
sixth day, and only a little at a time. 9. Do not feed them 
at all from November till March, and but little during the 
three following months.— Weed's Year Book of Pharmacy. 


COMPOUND FOR PROMOTING THE GROWING OF 
FLOWERS. 

Sulphate of Ammonia, 4 ounces, Sal-Nitre, 2 ounces, 
Sugar, I ounce, Hot Water, I pint. Keep it in a well-corked 
bottle. For Hyacinth Glasses add 8 or 10 drops of the 
liquid to the water, changing the water every ten or twelve 
days. For flowering plants in pots, add a few drops to 
the water employed to moisten them.— Weed’s Year Book 
l of Pharmacy.

CEMENT FOR SHOP BOTTLES. 

For labeling shop furniture with glass labels, we give the 
following recipe for making the cement: Take l /$ Bees¬ 
wax to % Resin, heat in an iron kettle until it is well dis¬ 
solved and mixed.— Weed's Year Book of Pharmacy. 


BOTTLE WAX. 

Take Shellac, 2 lbs., Resin, 4 lbs., Venice Turpentine, 
i l A 16 s., Red Lead, \ l / 2 lbs. Fuse the Shellac and Resin 
cautiously in a bright copper pan, over a clear charcoal 
fire ; when melted add the Turpentine ; lastly m'x in the 
Red Lead, pour into moulds. (Moulds for wax are gener¬ 
ally made of some bright metal.)— Weed's Year Book of 
Pharmacy. 

BOTTLE WAX. 

Take of Resin, 13 ounces, Wax, 1 part; melt and add 
any color.— Druggists' Circular. 


CEMENT FOR COAL OIL LAMPS. 

A cement particularly adapted for attaching the brass 
work to petroleum lamps, is made by boiling three parts 
Resin with one of Caustic Soda and five of water. 1 his 
composition is then mixed with half its weight of Plaster of 
Paris, and sets firmly in half to three-quarters of an hour. 
It is said to be of great adhesive power, not permeable to 
petroleum, a low conductor of heat, and but superficially 
attacked by hot water. Zinc white, White Lead, or Pre¬ 
cipitated Chalk may be substituted for plaster, but hardens 
more slowly.— Weed's Year Book of Pharmacy. 


A TRANSPARENT CEMENT. 

For articles to be united with glass, may be prepared as 
follows: Five parts by weight of clear powdered Gum 
Damar, one part of Venice Turpentine, and two parts of 
Spirits of Turpentine, are to be digested in a loosely covered 
bottle in a moderately warm place, until they have formed 
a uniform, thick mass; or mix in a vessel five parts of

A Transparent Cement—Cont’d. 

Gelatin, one part of white Crystallized Candy, and eight 
parts of boiling, distilled water ; stir to promote the solu¬ 
tion of Gelatin, and add a few drops of Oil of Cloves. This 
cement should be warmed previous to the application in 
order to make it fluid.— Weed’s Year Book of Pharmacy. 


A VALUABLE CEMENT FOR CAST IRON OR STONE¬ 
WARE. 

We find the following recipe good. It takes some little 
time to dry, but turns almost as hard as stone, and is fire 
and water-proof. For mending cracks in Stone or Cast- 
Iron ware, where iron filings can not be had, we think it is 
invaluable. Take Litharge and Red Lead, equal parts, 
mix thoroughly and make into a paste with Concen¬ 
trated Glycerin to the consistency of soft Putty, fill the 
crack and smear a thin layer on both sides of the casting 
so as to completely cover the fracture. This layer can be 
rubbed off if necessary when nearly dry by an old knife or 
chisel.— Weed's Year Book of Pharmacy. 


CEMENT FOR IVORY. MOTHER OF PEARL, ETC. 

Dissolve I part of Isinglass and 2 of White Glue in 30 of 
water, strain and evaporate to 6 parts, add 1-301I1 part of 
Gum Mastic, dissolved in one half part of Alcohol and add 
1 part White Zinc. When required for use warm and shake 
up.— Weed’s Year Book of Pharmacy. 

CEMENT FOR LEATHER. 

A valuable cement for leather may be made by mixing 
10 parts Sulphide of Carbon with 1 part Oil of Turpentine 
and adding enough Gutta Percha, cut in fine threads, to 
make a thick cream of syrupy consistence. 


TURKISH OR ARMENIAN CEMENT FOR STEEL AND 
OTHER METALS. 

Dissolve four or five pieces of Gum Mastic, each the size 
of a pea, in a sufficiency of Alcohol to make a solution ; in 
another vessel dissolve, in Brandy, as much Isinglass, 
previously softened in water, as will make two ounces of

Dr. McIntosh's Natural Uterine Supporter. 

No Instrument has ever been placed before the medical profes¬ 
sion which has given such universal satisfaction. The combination 
is such that the Physician is able to meet every indication of Uterine 
Displacements. Falling Womb, Anteversion, Retroversion and 
Flexions are overcome by this instrument, where others fail: this 
is proven by the fact that since its introduction to the Profession it 
has come into more general use than all other instruments com¬ 
bined. 

Among the many reasons which recommend this Supporter to 
the Physician is its self-adjusting qualities. The Physician, alter 
applying it, need have no fear tiiat he will be called in haste to 
remove or readjust it as is often the case with rings and various 
pessaries held in position by pressure against the vaginal wall, as 
the patient can remove it at will and replace it without assistance. 

The Abdominal Supporter is a broad morocco leather belt with 
elastic straps to buckle around the hips, with concave front so 
shaped as to hold up the abdomen. The Uterine Support is a cup 
and stem made of highly polished hard rubber, very light and 
durable, shaped to fit the neck of the womb, with openings for the 
secretions to pass out, as shown by the cuts. Cups are maue with 
extended lips to correct flexions and versions of the womb. 

The cup and stem is suspended to the belt by two soft elastic 
Rubber Tubes, which are fastened to the front of the belt by simple 
loops, passed down through the stem of the cup and up to the back 
of the belt. These soft rubber tubes being elastic adapt themselves 
to all the varying positions of the body and perform tlie service of 
ligaments of the womb. 

The instrument is very comfortable to the patient, can be re¬ 
moved or replaced by her at will, can be worn at all times, will not 
interfere with nature’s necessities, will not corrode, and is lighter 
than metal. It will answer for all cases of Anteversion, Retrover¬ 
sions, or any Flexions of the Womb, and is used by the leading 
Physicians with never-failing success even in the most difficult 
cases. 

Price—to Physicians, $8.00. Patients, $12.00.

In calling your attention to my goods, I would simply say they are the best that can be made. They will stand 
more rough usage, without breaking, than those of any other make. 

First. They are made of the best material. 

Second. The rubber washers on the pistons prevents them from breaking while in use. 

Third. They are thoroughly packed so that it is not necessary to repack them, which is often required with 
others. As perfect Glass Syringes, they are superior to anything offered to the trade. 

In proof of my statements, please read the following testimonials :

THE DRUGGISTS' READY REFERENCE. 


Postal Regulations—Cont’d. 

Packages may have sender’s address written on the 
wrapper and a written list of the articles contained in the 
package ; any letter, number or mark by which it can be 
identified, but nothing whatever in the way of correspond¬ 
ence or information beyond this. All fourth class matter 
must be unsealed and wrapped so that it can be readily in¬ 
spected without injury to the wrapper, and not exceeding 
four pounds in weight of any one package. 

With the single exception of original packets put up by 
the manufacturers which are sealed by internal revenue 
stamps, ALL MAIL MATTER NOT SENT AT LETTER RATES 
MUST BE LEFT OPEN TO INSPECTION BY THE POST OFFICE 
authorities. No articles, other than letters and postal 
cards, can be returned to the senders on request, unless 
again fully prepaid ; nor can they be advertised ; but if 
found undeliverable or uncalled for, they will be sent to 
the dead letter office. Mail matter of the third and fourth 
class is not assorted and put up with, or in the same man¬ 
ner as letters, being placed loose in canvas sacks and not 


in locked pouches ; and, of course, whenever it is neces¬ 
sary, on account of unusual accumulation of mail ma tter or 
for other reasons, to give preference in dispatch , it is 
always accorded to first class matter. 

Unmailable Matter. —Liquids, poisons, explosive and in¬ 
flammable articles, fatty substance easily liquefiable , live or 
dead animals (not stuffed), live insects and reptile s, fruits 
or vegetable matter liable to decomposition, comb honey, 
pastes or confections, guano, and other substances e xhaling 
a bad odor, are regarded as in themselves, either from 
their form or nature, within the inhibitions of the preced¬ 
ing section, and under no circumstances must they be ad¬ 
mitted to the mails. 

Precautions Against Injury to the Mails. — Other 
articles of the fourth class which, unless properly secured, 
might destroy, deface, or otherwise damage the contents of 
the mail bag, or harm the person of any one engaged in 
the postal service, may be transmitted in the mails when 
they conform to the following conditions :

Dr. De Henrie Syringes and Atomizers

Factory and Office, 24 BARCLAY STREET, NEW YORK. 

THE SYPHON. 



THE De HENRIE SYPHON SYRINGE 

Acts automatically, dispensing with the pumping attendant upon the use of other syringes. A decided 
improvement upon the “ Water Bag ” or Fountain Syringes, as it combines a “ Davidson Style,” Syphon 
or Water Bag in one instrument; invaluable for invalids; unequaled as a nasal douche. Complete set 
of tubes for male, female, infant, ear, spray, and nose. In polished patent walnut case. 



This useful little Instrument is destined to work a revolution in the treatment of Leucorrhoea, 
Catarrh of the Womb, and Ulceration of the Cervix Uteri, in the cure of which injections of liquid sub¬ 
stances have formerly been so unsatisfactory on account of the difficulty of applying the fluid to the 
deep sulci of the vaginal folds. 

The paramount advantages it possesses over any other heretofore used is that it dilates th e vagina, 
thus expanding and exposing every part of its surface to the immediate action of the injected fluid, 
which at the same time flows out through perforations at the bottom of the spray. This is a desideratum 
which all Physicians who have had much experience in Gynaecology will at once appreciate. 

Another advantage it possesses is the readiness with which it is applied, and the ease with which it 
is kept clean, and so finished that there are no sharp edges calculated to puncture or inflame. 

Another advantage it possesses is that of being flexible; it accommodates itself to the form of the 
passage. 

The spray is so constructed as to be applied to any of the syringes in general use. 

The cut shows the instrument about two-thirds its size.

DAYS, THE POSTMASTER IS REQUESTED TO NOTIFY THE 
SENDER, SPECIFYING THE AMOUNT OF POSTAGE WHICH 
MUST BE REMITTED TO INSURE THE RETURN OF THE PAR¬ 
CEL TO -. (Giving the name and address of the 

sender.) 

All inquiries for missing or lost mail matter should be 
addressed to Chief Special Agent, Post Office Department, 
Washington, D. C., and for matter in the dead letter office, 
to the Third Assistant Post Master General, Washington, 
D. C., and in all cases give name and office to which 
package was sent, and the name and address of the sender, 
and address from which it was sent. 

Third and fourth class matter must be fully prepaid at 
the office of mailing, or the same shall not be forwarded. 

Under no circumstances will the department permit 
glass to be transmitted in the mails in paper packages. 


Writing on the face or address side of a postal card is • 
allowable if it does not interfere with the address. 

This ruling is only intended to admit of so much writing 
on the address side of a postal card as may be necessary to 
finish a sentence or message, the same not interfering with 
the address. 

Section 720, P. L. & R., permits the public to mail let¬ 
ters on trains, and the employes must receive them, except 
they should bear canceled stamps. 

No printed paper filled out in writing which has the 
“ expression of a monetary value" can pass in the mails at 
less than letter rates of postage ; that such matter may be 
left unsealed will make no difference in the rate of postage 
as above stated. 

The post office department or its revenues are not liable 
for the loss or damage of any mail matter; but when any 
valuable matter is missing the department will use its best 
efforts to assist the owner to recover the same.

3 o 4 THE DRUGGISTS' READY REFERENCE. 


Postal Regulations— Cont’d. 

Postmasters are required to exclude from the mails all 
packages known to contain liquids, no matter how they 
may be put up. 

Autograph albums filled in with written signatures, or 
miscellaneous writing, are first class matter. 

All manuscript matter designed for publication in books, 
magazines, periodicals, or newspapers is subject to letter 
postage unless accompanied by proof sheets, or corrected 
proof sheets of such manuscript, or of which such manu¬ 
script is a correction or addition. 

Postal Suggestions. —Make all addresses legible, and 
give directions in full, if not a large city, include the county, 
and if in a large city give the number and street if you wish 
to insure prompt delivery. 


Avoid cheap or flimsy envelopes, as the rubbing and 
pressure in the mail bag often bursts or tears them. 

Never send money or any valuable article through the 
mail without registry, as it is not only at the risk of the 
sender, but lays temptation in the way of clerks and car¬ 
riers. 

Either give a printed or written return address of the 
writer on all letter envelopes, or sign the writer’s name and 
give full address in the letter, if you wish it returned in 
case it does not reach its proper destination. The address 
on envelope secures its return unopened, the other after 
opening at the dead letter office. 

Put your stamps on the upper right hand corner.

THE DISPENSATORY OF THE UNITED 
STATES. Reduced from $10.00 to $6.00. 
The Standard Authority. Fourteenth Edition. 
Thoroughly Revised and Enlarged. By George 
B. Wood, M. D., assisted by H. C. Wood, M. 
D. 1,879 pages. Royal 8 vo. Library 
Sheep. '$6.00. There is no similar book in 
the language—and probably no one in any 
language—which approaches it in completeness . 
Thus, there are in it no less than 1,877 dis¬ 
tinct articles. The great value of this must be 
apparent to all. No apothecary, no physician, 
can feel secure against all possible exigencies 
of practice or of study unless he has in his 
library one book which explains every thing in 
his line. Other works are luxuries more or 
less essential to mental development; this is 
a necessity. 

ELEMENTS OF MODERN CHEMISTRY. 
By Ad. Wurtz, Professor of Chemistry at the 
Ecole de Medecine, Paris, Member of the 
Institute, etc. Translated and Edited by Wm. 
H. Greene, M. D., formerly Demonstrator of 
Chemistry at Jefferson Medical College, Phila¬ 
delphia. Profusely Illustrated. 8vo. Extra 
Cloth, $2.50. Library Sheep, $3.00. 

“ The author of this treatise has long been known as one 
of the most able chemists and successful teachers in 
France, and has especial celebrity for his masterly exposi¬ 
tions of chemical philosophy, and the more abstract de¬ 
partments of that science. The numerous illustrations 
are carefully made and accurately printed, most of them 
serving to show apparatus and methods of manipulation. 
Indeed, no other elementary chemistry has greater claims 
for popularity.”— Philadelphia Medical and Surgical 
Reporter. 

“ We consider this work admirably adapted for a text¬ 
book, and well calculated to create in the student a love 
for chemistry, surrounding as it does the dry facts with 
judiciously selected experiments, and with interesting 
accounts of the applications of chemical laws. In addition 
to this, the book is well printed, the arrangement of the 
text is very convenient, and, in short, both the editor and 
the publishers have done their part well to make it useful 
as well as attractive.”— The American Journal of Phar¬ 
macy. 

PRONOUNCING MEDICAL DICTION¬ 
ARY. Containing the Etymology and Sig¬ 
nification of the Terms made use of in Medicine 
and the Kindred Sciences. With an Appendix 
comprising a list of all the more important arti¬ 
cles of the Materia Medica, arranged accord¬ 
ing to their medicinal properties. Also an 
explanation of the Latin terms and phrases 
occurring in Anatomy, Pharmacy, etc., together 
with the necessary directions for writing Latin 
prescriptions. By J. Thomas, M. D. 8vo.

The above notices are not advertisements, but 
are inserted for the reason that we have found 
value received in reading them as issued monthly, 
and believe our customers will find it will pay 
them to subscribe for and read several of these 
journals at least, if not all; not only pecu¬ 
niarily, in the various practical hints given regard¬ 
ing all matters pertaining to the Pharmacist’s 
labor and business, but also in the education and 
satisfaction it will give in keeping the reader 
fully up with the progress of Pharmaceutical Sci¬ 
ence.

Prepared according to the directions of Prof. E. N. HORSFOPD, Cambridge , Mass. 


There seems to be no difference of opinion in high medical authority, of the value of phosphoric acid, and 
no preparation has ever been offered to the public which seems to so happily meet the general want as this. 

It is not nauseous, but agreeable to the taste. 

No danger can attend its use. 

Its action will harmonize with such stimulants as are necessary to take. 
It makes a delicious drink with water and sugar only. 

Prices reasonable. Pamphlet giving further particulars mailed free on application to manufacturers. 

Physicians desiring to test it will be furnished a bottle free of expense, except express charges.

PRESSED, POWDERED, GROUND, CRUSHED AND CUT 



A SPECIALTY. 


We make it a specialty to Press, Grind, Powder, Cut and Crush Botanic Medicines. It is 
our aim to excel in quality of our productions and^in style of our packages. We have recently 
made additions and inventions of machinery, which greatly increase our facilities, and enable us to 
improve the quality and style of our goods without extra cost. With eight years’ experience and 
by a careful and prompt attention to business, exercising the strictest iktegrity in its manage¬ 
ment, we hope to perpetuate and increase the steady growth of our trade in the past, and merit 
the confidence of our friends in the future. 

The Neatest and Best Ounce Pack¬ 
age in the Market. 


We have lately adopted a square style of ounce packages, as indicated 
in annexed cut, neatly wrapped in White Bristol Board Wrappers. 
Dose, formula for infusion, properties of the herb, and antidote in case 
of poison, on back of each package, also the German and common names 
on outside label of the pound packages. These ounce packages are ele¬ 
gant in appearance, uniform in size and shape, free from imperfections 
and wrinkles. The Bristol Board Wrapper fully protects them from 
being mutilated, torn, or pressed out of shape during transportation. 
They are acknowledged to bj the neatest and most perfect ounce package
